Positioning Loads Accurately to the Micrometer

PETRA III is an innovative storage ring-based X-ray light source in the world and it provides international scientists with excellent experimentation facilities.

In particular, this benefits researchers investigating very small samples or those requiring tightly collimated and very short-wavelength X-rays for their experiments.

The high-energy radiation of up to and above 100,000 electron volts with high light intensity offers versatile capabilities, for example in the broad field of materials research for the inspection of welded seams, or for the examination of fatigue symptoms in workpieces.

In some cases, this involves accurately positioning really heavy loads down to the micrometer.
