The development of ultra-brilliant synchrotron facilities and recent advances in the fabrication of efficient nano-focusing optics have stimulated rapid development and applications of the focused beams used to elucidate nanoscale phenomena in many areas of science and technology. Various nano-focusing optics, including Kirkpatrick- Baez (KB) and elliptical mirrors, Fresnel zone plates (ZP), compound refractive and kinoform lenses, and multilayer Laue lenses (MLL), are routinely used to achieve nano-focusing. The latest experiments utilizing KB mirrors have demonstrated focal spot size of 13 nm with the ZPs and MLLs being able to focus hard X-rays to 10 nm and below. When the focused beam size is reduced to below 100 nm, there is a need to develop a dedicated system tailored for a specific application, which satisfies stringent mechanical, vibrational, and thermal characteristics to successfully enable nano-scale imaging. Multiple degrees of motion, including their positioning accuracy, resonance frequencies, and amount of heat being dissipated, have to be thoroughly considered in order to efficiently perform nano-focusing experiments.
