## Description

Laboratory, optical and precision equipments \(excl\. glasses\)\. SURF is a neutron reflectometer with horizontal sample geometry\. It is mostly used for the study of liquid and solid/liquid interfaces\. The incident beam is sloping down at an angle of 1\.5° below the horizontal to allow scattering from liquid interfaces\. A non-polarizing super mirror is used to deflect the beam up in order to access angles lower than 1\.5° on liquid surfaces\. The requirement is to supply a horizontally focusing elliptical neutron guide split into 3 sections: MG1, MG2 and MG3\. All guide sections include an m=6 super mirror coating of the inner left and right faces\. The middle section also includes an m=6 super mirror coating of the inner lower face\. All the remaining inner faces are either neutron absorbing \(1-17 A\) or have a null-reflective coating\.
