Abstract
Scanning mode is a key factor for the comprehensive performance, including imaging efficiency, of scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM). Herein is presented a bidirectional scanning method designed for STXM with an S-shaped moving track. In this method, artificially designed ramp waves are generated by a piezo-stage controller to control the two-dimensional scanning of the sample. The sample position information is measured using laser interferometric sensors and sent to a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board which also acquires the X-ray signals simultaneously from the detector. Since the data recorded by the FPGA contain the real position of each scanned point, the influence of the backlash caused by the back-turning movement on the STXM image can be eliminated. By employing an adapted post-processing program, a re-meshed high-resolution STXM image can be obtained. This S-track bidirectional scanning method in fly-scan mode has been implemented on the STXM endstation at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), and successfully resolved the ∼30 nm interval between the innermost strips of a Siemens star. This work removes the limitation on bidirectional scanning caused by motor backlash and vibration, and significantly improves the efficiency of STXM experiments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
