点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Phase I end station serves as the design and operational prototype for all follow-on NE-CAT end stations. As such it has undergone numerous upgrades during this reporting period. Improvements include: 1) A second sample visualization system, approximately orthogonal to the first. 2) A remote sample visualizer focus drive. 3) Installation of additional, fiber-optic spot illuminators and implementation of a remote control for all illuminators. 4) Remotely-controlled, pneumatically actuated crystal trans-illuminator. 5) Additional attenuation controls. 6) Modification of quadrant diode beam position monitor to eliminate response perturbations induced by flux attenuators situated downstream of the beam position monitor. 7) Numerous Console scripting developments.
