The focusing element of the beamline is the 1.1 m-long cylindrical toroidal mirror reflecting vertically upwards at a glancing angle of 4 mrad. This Rh-coated mirror is located at 31.2 m from the source and focuses the monochromatic radiation in the detector plane, 13.5 m downstream. Typically, a 4 mm  4 mm beam is focused to a spot of 0.5 mm  0.5 mm in the detector plane, being 0.7 mm 0.7 mm at the sample position (11 m from the mirror). The corresponding beam divergence is 130 microrad.

Mirror can be aligned using five motors: 3 legs (tzf, tzb1 and tzb2) and 2 translations perpendicular to the X-ray beam (ty1 and ty2). Usual pseudo motors tpitch, tyaw, troll, tz and ty are used to facilitate the alignment. The distance between two back legs is 600 mm and between front and back legs 1497.5 mm (can be seen in OH >  properties). All motors have 2000 steps/turn, tz ones 64526 steps/mm with 1000 steps backlash and ty ones 33000 steps/mm and 500 steps backlash.
