NG7 30-m Small Angle Neutron Scattering Instrument


Focusing Refractive Optics for SANS


Focusing Lens Geometry:

By using lenses to image the source aperture at the detector, the intensity on the sample varies with θmin squared, and is nearly independent of the size of lens (i.e. sample) aperture.

MgF sub 2 Biconcave Lenses radius = 25 mm by 25 mm
