Financial Report < 113 > RESEARCH REPORTS 4 2011 RESEARCH REPORTS 5 2011 Introduction The Institute activity was focused especially to the completion of the long-term Institutional Research Plan (2005–2011), which rep- resented the main financial income of the institution. The number of research projects decreased due to the dissolution of the Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the resources of which were partly re-directed to the Czech Science Foun- dation, now the principal provider of project financing in our state. Nevertheless, the publication activity of the Institute research staff was not influenced; the production of books, chapters in books and peer-reviewed articles remained still high with increasing value of article impacts. The autumn season was characterized by the elections of the new Executive Board (active as of January 4, 2012) and by the preparation of a tender for a new Institute director, as Dr. Václav Cílek decided to finish after 8 year in this position. We thank him for all his activities!

In image on top to the left, the reflecting geometry setup with primary monochromator is shown. Note accesory parts including polycapillary assembly and collimators (racks to the left), capillary sample stage (left of the goniometer base plate), and part of XYZ-stage for micro-diffraction (bottom right corner). In image at the bottom to the right, the goniometer is converted to classic Bragg-Brentano reflecting geometry. In both images two lasers (slim black tubes) for sample positioning in micro-diffraction setup are identifiable (Photo by R.Skála). RESEARCH REPORTS 6 2011 2.
