4.4.1 Monochromator Configuration
Sensitive components are protected by appropriate sensors to avoid radiation exposure:
optical line assembly, alignment tooling, door and panels. The picture describes the main
goniometric components of the instrument.
1 - Sample holder supplies
2 - Shutter
3 - Monochromator housing
4 - Crossed slits
5 - Sample holder (SSRT type)
6 - Safety sensor for service tasks
This configuration is the most basic one. The instrument can be equipped with a flat
germanium monochromator or a flat Graphite HOPG monochromator.
The Germanium monochromator allows the sepa
ration between Kα1 and Kα2 for high
resolution studies. The drawback is the lack of signal meaning longer acquisitions.
