===Focal Spot Characterization===

==Focal Spot Characterization==

The focal spot was studied using a gold-tungsten harp scanner in both the x and y plane. Each harp scan was comprised of an aluminum mount machined at UConn and then anodized to insulate it from the 50 micron gold-tungsten wire that was stretched across it as can be seen in the CAD drawing below.
