Microscope

The scheme of the experimental chamber is the following:



Focusing optics

Electron analyzer

Sample holder on scanning stage



Nanospot for microscopy

The measurement station hosts a microscope which is based on a Schwarzschild Objective. Such a device consists of two spherical mirrors which demagnify the beamline focus to a submicron spot onto the sample. High reflectivity of the Schwarzschild Objective is obtained by using periodic multilayer coating. Two objectives are available which operate at photon energies of 27eV and 74eV. The smallest achievable spot size is currently 0.5 µm FWHM.
