About

Diamond Light Source Ltd awarded a contract to WinlightX for the design, manufacture, supply, testing, and delivery of a focusing toroidal mirror optic for the DLS Beamline B21.

The optic is to be manufactured from a single crystal silicon block with a toroidal groove ground and polished into the flat top face, and the inside of the groove and surrounding top surface coated with rhodium to increase reflectivity and provide a conductive surface for temperature sensors.

The optic must fit into the existing vacuum vessel and onto the same mounting assembly as the current mirror, which includes motors for height, pitch, and bending radius adjustment, and a gravity compensator with four manually adjustable support pillars.

The contract value was £27,573.
