  The RIXS Manipulator (RIXS = Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering) is a further development of the Carving Manipulator. The carving manipulator has six independent degree of freedom. (Three translations and three rotations). All three rotations are exactly in the middle of the sample surface. The head of the manipulator is in UHV and the sample can be cooled down to 10K. For the RIXS manipulator there is a new requirement to have a field of view from 0-180°. There are mainly two parts in the carving manipulator that set the probe in the shadow of the beam at small angles. - A bellow - The bearings To solve these problems we shifted the bellow behind the pivot point. This give some strange movements of the bellows and we had to analyse this in a separate test installation. For the bearings, we developed a goniometer bearing with ceramic bearing shells. Meanwhile the RIXS manipulator is implemented and in routine operation
