The instrumentation required for ARPES and Resonant Inelastic X-ray Spectroscopy (RIXS) is usually completely different. ARPES uses electron spectrometers, primarily hemispherical ones, whereas RIXS requires high-resolution X-ray spectrometers with long optical paths to achieve the desired resolution. In a special time-of-flight photoelectron microscope, we combined photoelectron momentum microscopy (MM) - imaging of the backfocal plane of the objective lens, a powerful ARPES approach - with the concept of PAXRIXS [1]. Here, the RIXS photons are converted into photoelectrons using an ultrathin foil. The position at which a RIXS photon hit the converter is a measure for the momentum transfer. For RIXS, the converter foil is moved between the sample and the extractor with fields-of-view of >4 mm. This is facilitated by a novel type of front lens which enables various operating modes. Ultrathin Au, Ag, and Pt converter foils provide energy resolutions between 20 meV and 400 meV.
