MICROPROBE DEVELOPMENT

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 修改并测试了扫描软件BioCAT_FMAP。这个新版本包含了光束线控制软件的快速扫描功能。快速扫描还允许在运行中保存全光谱。这是一个重要的功能，将允许执行映射实验与最小的开销时间。 安装并调试了一组新的KB反射镜（芝加哥大学设计），每个200 mm长。新的反射镜的特点包括：大接受角，增加了三倍的交付通量;更好的光学表面，将提供更小的光束下降到2微米和弯曲系统控制的步进电机，将允许修改焦点尺寸更准确。

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. Scan software BioCAT_FMAP was modified and tested. This new version incorporated the fast scanning capabilities of the beamline control software. The fast scanning also allows saving the full spectrum on-the-fly. This is an important feature that will allow performing mapping experiment with minimum overhead time. A new set of KB mirrors (University of Chicago design) 200 mm long each were installed and commissioned. The new mirrors characteristics include: large acceptance angle that increase the delivered flux up to three times; better optical surfaces that will deliver smaller beams down to 2 microns and bender system controlled by stepper motors that will allow modifying focal size more accurately.
