The motorized seven-axis manipulator (Huber, Germany) is composed of four linear and three rotational stages used to provide proper orientation of the analyzed sample surface and X-ray monitoring detectors, as required by the experiment to be conducted.
The fluorescence measurements are performed using a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD), which has a 30 mm2 nominal crystal area, a thickness of 450 µm and resolution equal to 131 eV (@MnKa). It is equipped with a Super Light Element Window (SLEW) of the type AP 3.3.
A miniaturized SDD is available for XRR measurements. This SDD has a crystal area of 25 mm2, a Be window with 8.5 µm thickness, 131 eV resolution @MnKa, thickness 500 µm and internal multilayer as collimator.
