Sample Y and/or Z positions search

There are 2 ways to search sample Y and/or Z positions:

  1. Search by radiography image

  2. Scan absorption profile

  3. Scan by EDXD or flurescence profile (refer to X position search)

By radiography image

  • Switch to radiography measurement mode.

  • Narrow slit size to those of EDXD measurement.

  • Mark the narrow slit size and position by tape or something on monitor.

  • Open slit (click for Camera) for radiography measurement.

  • Move sample position to x-ray beam position shown by a mark on monitor.

By absorption scan

  • Move to EDXD measurement mode.

  • Confirm 2TH is >10°.

  • Open ‘Bluediamond’ (Bluediamond software).

  • Select ‘IC2 or Diode’ in Detector in Bluediamond, uncheck all others.

  • Open ‘scan’ on SAM Y (or Z)

scan_launch
  • Set scan parameters of ‘Start’, ‘End’ and ‘#Pts’ (#Pts has to be odd number) (confirm ‘Relative’).

scan_go
  • Click LoadGo to start scan.

  • Scan results will appear in the ‘Bluediamond’ window.
