A high-precision diffractometer coupled to an optical bench has been installed on ID01 by Huber and commissioned successfully in January.
It will allow diffraction from individual nanostructures and functional materials using beam sizes down to 100 nm. Particular attention has been spent on the sample positioning in angular space with precise xyz stages. It has been available to users since February. The smallest beam size obtained so far is 140 nm, and further improvement of the current focusing systems is foreseen in 2011.
