Preparation of DLC strip targets for the tabletop storage ring synchrotrons MIRRORCLE

In the second technology, the DLC strip is not backed. A temporarily closed frame is constructed using two extra blades, and the foil is attached easily to that frame. Subsequently, the two free strip edges are formed, via cutting with a surgical blade along the edges of the two extra blades. Lastly, the extra blades are released and left to fall. Using these two technologies, strip targets containing a 55 nm DLC+15-nm-thick formvar strip, as well as 85-nm-thick and 150-nm-thick DLC-only strips were prepared.
