Photon sources and instrumentation Figure 1. Photo (left) and a schematic (right) of the experimental setup showing how the new AFM device integrates into the existing fluorescence and STXM techniques at TwinMic. The XYZ tip motors are used for alignment of the AFM tip and the beam. Topography is recorded by the movement of the piezoelectric ring mounted in the standard TwinMic sample holders, under the sample. Figure 2. In-situ multimodal measurements of an asbestos fibres sample with STXM (Absorption), XRF (Na K line) and the AFM. Complementarity of the three techniques is clearly visible. A. Hafner1, L. Costa2, G.
