In-Flange Slits

In Flange Slits

For monochromatic beam applications, XDS Oxford’s range of UHV compatible in-flange slits are a tried and trusted solution. Each pair of independently movable blades is controlled by in-vacuum guides to ensure they remain parallel to each other, and precisely define the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the beam.

Depending on the size, shape and energy requirements of a particular beamline, the in-flange slits can be customised to suit specific needs. Options include:

  • Conflat flange size DN100, DN160
  • Aperture size
  • Blade material, edge type and thickness
  • Cooled or uncooled blades
  • Absolute or Incremental encoders
  • Drain current measurement
