Several different apparatus can be mounted on sample stages that maintain the center of rotation within 20 µm (sphere of confusion). These consist of:
- Sample table: Kohzu XYZ stage (stblx, stbly, stblz)
- Eulerian cradle: Huber 512
- Chi (χ)
- Phi (Huber 410) (Φ)
- 2-circle goniometer (Huber 424) (θ)
- Motorized Cryostat Mount (5106.20M)
- micro_x, micro_y, micro_z
Depending on the experimental setup, the accessible range of χ, Φ, θ can change and it is very important that the operator pays attention in order to avoid hitting other equipment at the downstream side (detector), upstream side (ion chambers, attenuator) and inward side (wall).
