P414 – Exit Slit Unit SISSY_soft EMIL BESSY
Application
Exit slit unit for soft X-ray synchrotron radiation
Year of delivery
2015
Installation site
EMIL soft X-ray beamline at BESSY, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Germany
This soft X-ray exit slit unit is part of the combined hard and soft X-ray EMIL beamlines at BESSY. The vacuum chamber accomodates not only the actual beam but also the passing hard X-ray beam of the neighbouring branch.
Design Features
-
Vertically defining slit with motorized and encoded slit opening.
-
Symmetric slit opening, non-linear opening characteristics.
- OFHC slit blades.
- Horizontally defining aperture with independent manual translation of the aperture blades.
- Electrical isolation of horizontally defining aperture blades.
- Motorized slit unit translation along beam axis.
- Adjustable support structure.
Performance Features
- Precision and slit opening repeatability smaller than 100 nm.
- Parallelism smaller than 0.9 µm over 10 mm edge length.
- Straightness smaller than 0.5 µm over 10 mm edgle length.
- Very small deviation (submicrometer) of the slit opening calibration curve from the theoretical non-linear slit opening function.
