I was able to get in the 8-ID-E hutch today so here are pictures FYI: URL of this directory)
The sample sits on an XYZ stage, the Z has quite some large range of
travel. The XY stage is a Huber model 5102.1-035
(one picture shows this).
The first picture
shows a user group adapter plate used for an experiment. They use a IUCR
mount for attaching a Huber manual stage on it.
For aligning the pin and the Fe3Al crystal, we use this plate that mounts
on the Huber XY stage (20150403_130134.jpg)
It shows a Newport 338324 rotation stage, with a ~12 mm Al spacer and the
same IUCR mount. This is a top view
(20150403_130143.jpg).
One can also browse at pictures from an equivalent Newport rotation stage taken from Ebay here.
From the top of the Al plate to the center of rotation, there is about 57 mm. This is the pin goniometer (20150403_133153.jpg).
The thickness of the Newport goniometer and cylindrical Al plate is 35 mm (see 20150403_132906.jpg).
The thickness of the base plate is 15 mm (see 20150403_133027.jpg.) so from the bottom of the baseplate to the top of the cylindrical plate is 50 mm.
One thus has about 107 mm from the bottom of the baseplate to the center
of rotation. The base plate mounts through metric screws and here is the
Huber catalog page.
Please note that the M5 screw is correct but the mounting holes are on a
88 mm square, not on a 80 x 90 mm square.
Alec Sandy wrote this about the sample mount recently:
"The hole pattern is an 88 mm M5 square pattern and the top plate is 100 mm
square. From the top of XY to the center of rotation is 125 mm when the z
stage is at the center of its travel."
I recently purchased small 4"x4" plates that fit nicely on the Huber XY stage
on the 8-ID-E WA-XPCS set up
(Click to
see the Thorlab MB4U plate).
I've machined them to mount on the Huber stage as shown
in this picture. They are 1/2" thick.
They can be used for more complex set up or with simple optical posts
like in this example with a magnetic base.
