摘要：

The ESRF and the Belgian company Leuven Air Bearings have jointly developed a new sample stage utilizable for multiple applications. The instrument has been designed for the accurate positioning and scanning of large samples for computed tomography (3-D imaging). The main novelty of this development lies in the integration of all the necessary devices to scan large samples in closed-loop control mode into one accurate sample stage, although its design was not intended to meet the ultimate mechanical properties available. The sample maximum dimensions must be comprised in a volume of 400 mm diameter x 600 mm height whilst their weight may reach 300 N. Thanks to its large horizontal translation, the sample stage also allows the 2-D scanning of large samples over a 500 x 600 mm(2) area. Finally, in addition to being transportable to various measurement stations in a large facility, one major characteristic of this versatile tool remains its affordable cost in comparison with the sub-micron final imaging resolution that may be reached.
