On the Construction of a Zerodur Translation Device for X-Ray Interferometric Scanning

Abstract
A finite-element method was applied in designing a mechanical device for X-ray fringe scanning over a distance of about 50 μm with a pitch angle of some milliseconds of arc. With this method it was possible to detect critical parameters in the hinges of the device, as well as points where the pitch angle is nil. A Zerodur prototype was constructed, and measurements carried out on it with an autocollimator confirmed that zero-pitch points were correctly predicted by the calculation programme.
