  A new Table Positioning Device(TPD) for high precision and heavy load manipulations has been developed. Conceived as an alternative to the precision hexapods it fulfils the gap of sample (and/or, instruments) positioning in small (height) available working spaces of synchrotron Diffractometers (Dm). The concept is based on a Redundant Parallel Kinematic Structure (Rd-PKS) with four (4) legs having 2 dof active joints (actuators). In this Proof of Functionality (PoF) step, a stacked solution has been adopted for actuators design using the existent XY translation Positioning Units (Pu). The symmetrically modular 6-4(PP)PS precision mechanism - OCTOGLIDE(OG) having eight (8) gliding actuators (P) is implying also a pair of wedges - Elevation (El) and socket/ball - Guiding (G) Pu, as passive joints (P and S) forming one of the Positioning modules (Pm). Spatial positions can be reached without any singularities and planar motions along/around X or Y axis are performed very intuitively with some of the actuators (decoupled) motion. The first tests of the prototype are revealing both, high accuracy (straightness, flatness, etc) and stiffness capabilities.

  For the high demanding requirements of the beam-lines of the European XFEL [*] new mirror chambers were developed, designed and tested. A prototype contains the main features of all needed ten units which are tested extensively. The concept of the mirror chamber is a further development of our Cartesian parallel kinematics for X-ray optics in the UHV [**]. The stiffness and vibration behaviour were further improved and the position resolution was increased compared to earlier implementations at Bessy and Flash. For that the drives were redesigned and now feature a stroke of 100 mm with nanometer resolution.

TUPE22 Low-Order Aberrations Correction of Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Objective with Deformable Multilayer Mirrors ion, alignment, controls, optics 213

  For at-wavelength observation of a lithography mask, recently, we proposed an EUV microscope consisting of multilayer-mirror objective (operating wavelength: 13.5 nm, numerical aperture: 0.25). To provide diffraction-limited spatial resolution below 30 nm, reduction of wave aberrations of low order, i.e., spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism, should be key technical challenge for the microscope. In this paper, firstly, we describe detail of optical design and instrumentation of the point diffraction interferometer (PDI), so as to provide high enough sensing accuracy of 100 pm, which would be required for an optical axis adjustment of the EUV objective. Next, experimental results of wave front correction on the EUV objective are reported. We corrected spherical aberration and coma by precisely aligning an optical axis of the mirrors, while effects of astigmatism were also minimized with a figure-deformable mirror which can control radius of curvature in two mutually orthogonal directions. We confirmed that these low order terms should be less than 0.3 nm RMS.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APSU) is to replace the existing storage ring with a multi-bend achromats (MBA) accelerator lattice *. For the APS-U removal and installation, current planning calls for a 12-month shutdown and testing period, prior to resumption of operations. It calls for quick installation of the magnet support system with assembly and installation alignment tolerance. A three-point, semi-kinematic vertical mount for the magnet modules is the approach to reduce time for alignment. The longest section is the curved FODO section (four quads with three Q-bends interleaved, and a three-pole wiggler). All magnets of the FODO section sit on a single piece of support structure in order to have a good control over the magnet-to-magnet alignment tolerance. It brings challenge to minimize the top surface deflection and maximize the first mode frequency of the magnet support structure that is supported at three points. These constraints call for the need of optimizing the magnet support structures. Details of the optimization, including three-point positioning, material selection, and topology optimization, are reported in this study.

WEPE29 A Novel Filter Auto-Mounter for the BioXAS Beamlines at the CLS ion, detector, MMI, experiment 357

The BioXAS beam-lines are a recently completed group of beam-lines at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). The BioXAS EXAFS beam-lines host three 32-element germanium detectors. There was a need to introduce an exchangeable filter between the soller slits and the 32-element germanium detectors. It was further required to have an automated filter exchange system so that users could quickly vary filter thicknesses and types to determine the effect on the signal. An auto-mounting filter system was created to meet these requirements and allows users to quickly exchange filters without breaking experimental hutch lockup. The auto-mounter cartridge can hold up to ten slides that measure 100mm X 55mm in cross-section. The device inserts slides in an extremely small envelope between the soller slits and the liquid helium cryostat. The auto-mounter assembly also houses the stages required to actuate the soller slits laterally and vertically. During device commissioning we performed 800 consecutive successful filter exchanges as part of a stress test. The spatial constraints, mechanics, and fabrication of the device will be presented. Software development will also be discussed.

The GM/CA developed, quad-mini-beam collimator[*,**], advanced rastering and vector data-collection software tools[***], have enabled successful data collection on some of the most challenging problems in structural biology. There are two main sources of X-ray scattering (besides the sample) that reach the detector, contribute to back-ground and limit data resolution. These are scattering within the collimator that escapes the exit aperture and air-scattering of the direct beam before it terminates in the beamstop. Scattering from the collimator can be reduced by decreasing the exit aperture size. A quad mini-beam collimator was built consisting of 5/50, 10/70, 20/100 and 150/300 µm beam defining/exit aperture combination, respectively. Previous collimators were positioned in the X-ray beam by two motorized translational motions and two manual angular adjustments via a kinematic mount. Due to reduced tolerance in the new design, aligning each of the pin-hole combinations to high-precision required motorizing both translational and angular motions. Design and con-struction of the improved mini-beam collimator and the extent of background reduction will be discussed.
