    Notes: An ultrahigh precision coupling of the angular motion of the two axes in a double-crystal monochromator with constant exit height has been constructed. The coupling device is a double parallelogram similar to the kind used for drafting tables. Computer simulations have been used to minimize the angular motion in the joints of the parallelograms to less than ±5° for the entire Bragg-angle range from 10° to 71°. This allows the use of backlash-free and friction-free flexural pivots. The axis of the first crystal is controlled by a precision rotary table. The shaft of the second crystal stage is supported by a trolley riding on a translation stage. Bearings allow for free rotation of the shaft. The double parallelogram provides only for the exact angular position of the second axis but does not support any weight of the second crystal stage and freely follows the trolley. The trolley is positioned so that the beam from the first crystal is intercepted and reflected at the correct height. The device is ultrahigh vacuum compatible. This design, which fully separates the two demands for extremely precise angular tracking and for less precise positioning for constant exit height, has several advantages beyond its superior tracking accuracy. The stationary first axis allows efficient, in-vacuum cooling of the first crystal. A direct rotary drive can be used for the first axis thus providing direct linear Bragg-angle control. A heavy weight second crystal stage, e.g., for sagittal focusing, may be used without deforming the angular linkage mechanism since all weight is carried by the rugged translation stage. No high-precision machining such as grinding or lapping is needed for the double-parallelogram linkage. The arms of the parallelogram, i.e., the distance between the holes for the flexural pivots, need to be only of precisely the same length.Testing the linkage shows the expected high accuracy. The maximum nonrepeatable deviation between the two axes is less than 5×10−5 degree (=0.2 arcsec). The tracking error for a 10−4 degree step is less than 1×10−5 degree, for a 10−3 degree step it is less than 2×10−5 degree. The maximum total deviation at any point within an interval of 0.1° is less than 1×10−4 degree (=0.4 arcsec). Repeatable and smooth long range deviations of a few arcseconds are compensated by feeding a predetermined corrective voltage to a piezo translator.

    Notes: A sagitally focusing stage has been constructed for the double-crystal scanning monochromator on beam line X9-A at the NSLS which can be exchanged with the normally used flat crystal stage. The bending device located at 12.0 m from the source is designed to accept a beam up to 200-mm wide. The monochromator with bending stage can be scanned over Bragg angles from 10° to 71° corresponding to photon energies from 11.4 to 2.1 keV with Si-111 crystals. In conjunction with the vertically focusing mirror a point focus of 0.38 mm×0.18 mm [horizontal×vertical, full width at half maximum (FWHM) each] has been achieved at a focal length of 3.8 m (center of a four-circle diffractometer). Focused at the back of the experimental hutch (focal length=5.4 m) the focal size was 0.55 mm×0.30 mm. The measured horizontal width of the focus equals the calculated size of the demagnified source and is independent of the horizontal convergence used. The horizontal focus produced by the crystal is very clean: the full width at 1% of maximum is 1.5 mm and at 0.01% it is about 4 mm. The flux into the focus is 5×1011 photons/s at a photon energy of 7.4 keV and beam current of 200 mA.The average flux density in the center of the focus (FWHM area) is 5×1011 photons/s/mm2. The preliminary crystal presently used has been made from a thin Si plate of 0.4-mm thickness, 80-mm width, and 75-mm length (in the direction of the beam). Steel ribs of 0.6-mm thickness have been glued at 3-mm pitch to the back of the crystal in order to stiffen the plate and reduce anticlastic bending.1 Plates have been glued to this crystal plate to extend the width to size the bending stage. The crystal was cut in 111 orientation with a 4° angle between the lattice planes and the crystal surface. The asymmetric cut was used to increase the angle of incidence and thus decrease the effect of the remaining anticlastic bending. The bending stage has a bending couple at both ends of the crystal in order to produce the desired curvature of the crystal. The bending couples can be adjusted to produce a conical shape as needed for the particular choice of focal length.2 Small piezotranslators push on the bending couples to remove small amounts of twist in the crystal introduced by alignment errors of the bending couples. All of the adjustment drives are outside of the monochromator tank and transmitted to the bending stage via linear feedthroughs and cables. A full description of this device and the crystal with glued ribs will be submitted shortly to this journal.

    Notes: The use of synchrotron radiation as an intense X-ray source for biological diffraction has only very recently been promoted into a long-term experimental programme. Here we report on some general and some detailed aspects of this development. In the case of small-angle studies on weakly scattering specimens at high time resolution, e.g. stroboscopic diffraction studies on muscle, the lack of X-ray sources of considerably higher brightness than from conventional X-ray generators has become limiting. As it has become technically impossible to pursue the development of rotating-anode tubes much further, the use of an electron synchrotron or storage ring with 100 to 1000 times higher brightness opens up the possibility not only of collecting much improved data but also of whole new ranges of experiments. A brief description is presented of the low-angle diffraction equipment currently in use at the synchrotron in Hamburg.

    Notes: [Auszug] Unfortunately both structural signs can be faulted, the electron microscopy because of the possibility of fixation or postfixation changes6, and the X-ray diffraction because of the long time which was used to obtain the required exposures2,4. We have tried to overcome these objections by observing ...

    Notes: The need to record low-angle-scattering X-ray fibre diagrams from muscle with millisecond time resolution drove the use of synchrotron radiation as an X-ray light source. The first smudgy diffraction patterns were obtained from a slice of insect flight muscle. Out of this grew the EMBL Outstation at DESY.

    Notes: The potential of synthetic multilayers for energy-resolving the X-ray fluorescence in X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) experiments is discussed. Two detection systems, one using curved multilayers and the other using graded multilayers to select X-ray fluorescence photons, have been designed to cover a wide energy range with a usefully large solid angle. Such a detector will be more advantageous than the barrel-like crystal-array detector because of the unique properties of synthetic multilayers, such as larger horizontal acceptance angles and bandwidth. In addition, the detector should be much simpler to construct and readily accommodates energy changes, especially the detector using graded multilayers. Comparison of the multilayer array detector with conventional detectors, such as ionization chambers and conventional 13-element Ge detectors, shows that the proposed system will be superior, particularly with the increased photon fluxes available from insertion devices and with decreased sample concentration, since this detection system eliminates the `bad' photons before they enter any X-ray detector. Consequently, the X-ray detector proper for this system does not suffer from the incident-count-rate bottleneck common to current X-ray fluorescence detectors with energy resolution by signal processing. Thus, this new fluorescence detection system will provide tremendous opportunities for XAFS measurements on dilute systems, such as biological systems, at third-generation synchrotron sources.
