About

A synchrotron-based X-ray projection microscope is a type of X-ray imaging system that utilizes synchrotron radiation as its X-ray source to create two-dimensional projection images of objects. Synchrotron radiation provides intense and highly collimated X-ray beams, allowing for high-resolution imaging capabilities.

Projection microscope design:

  1. KB mirrors system, under Helium atmosphere – (X, Y)

  2. Sample air bearing positioning stage – (Kx, Y, Kz, KYaw)

  3. Triple magnification dual camera indirect detection system – (Kx, Ky, KYaw, KPitch)

  4. Support for a robotic arm for automatic sample exchange. The red arrow depicts the motion of the sample positioning assembly
