  The research team at the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation, Clayton CSIRO) have developed a high energy detector referred to as the Maia. The rapid scanning, high resolution detector offers technological advances, including non-invasive technical study of highly valued artworks. A vital application of the Maia detector is scanning x-ray fluorescence microscopy for obtaining the elemental composition of a large number of materials. The innovative detector allows connection between scientists & art communities to increase their understanding of historical artworks, broadening the field of authentication and potentially aiding the fight against art forgery as well as historical information. We have designed a new dedicated station that offers improvements in high stability, motion control and mounting. It is designed to support & scan various samples in size as well as shape powered by X & Y stages. A slide & hold clamping concept has been implemented which provides easy & rapid assembling of samples. This arrangement provides excellent interchangeability, supporting a variety of planar & non-planar samples for scanning.
