Beamline Coordinates
X-Y-Z
- X: radial direction of the ring, horizontal, pointing outboard to the doors.
- Y: vertically upward (against gravity).
- Z: along the x-ray beam
X-H-F
Because we routinely deal with motions in 45°-tilted directions, H and F are introduced as alternative coordinates to Y and Z:
- H: 45° upward-downstream (combination of +Y and +Z), this is the typical movement direction of the depth-profiling wire.
- F: 45° downward-downstream (combination of -Y and +Z), this is the "focus" direction of the sample under the optical microscope.
<math>H = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(Y+Z)</math>
<math>F = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(-Y+Z) </math>
