8-ID-E Diffractometer set up

These pictures were taken during a general user experiment
in February 2016 by Q. Zhang.  A small, vertically diffracting Huber 4-circle
diffractometer is used in wide-angle XPCS experiments. 
Three circles control the sample angle (theta, limited chi and phi (+/- 18 deg),
and one circle, the detector angle.  It is mounted on a motorized table, and a
good XYZ Huber stage enables user experimental set ups to be aligned in the 
beam. In these pictures, a user-supplied x-ray oven with accesories is mounted
on this XYZ stage. 
More details on the sample stage is available here.
Two detectors are typically used at the end of the flight path: a Si PI CCD
with direct detection, and an Oxford Cyberstar scintillation counter. The 7.35
keV incident coherent x-rays are spatially filtered and focused to a spot size 
of 4 microns (V) by 10 microns (H).
