This is something that can be made in a machine-shop, if you have the goniometer base..  All that needs to be done is to fit that to an axle, and you’re done.  We had one in Yale about a million years ago, for examing crystals on a dissecting scope when you mounted them in capillaries.

>> Hi folks,

>> For some “DIY work” in our lab, we are looking for a solution to mount a goniometer head on a suitable stage with Phi rotation (and translation long that axis) possibilities. We are looking for the stage. What comes out of my memory are the stages on these (now old) precession cameras (e.g. Enraf-Nonius or Huber, not so convenient to disassemble I think), or the MARResearch Image plate diffractometer setup. Basically we want to keep it simple, Phi rotation by hand together with a translation along the phi rotation axis.
