Automatic beam alignment for consistent performance The XtaLAB Synergy-DW VHF can now be equipped with our new Intelligent Optics Module (IOM) device for fully motorized automatic beam alignment. With encoders on every axis, IOM puts the beam exactly where you need it with high reproducibility, perfect for the smaller samples commonly studied today. IOM also lets you achieve maximum intensity from your source by automatically maximizing the intensity so you can achieve peak performance at all times.
