If the axis of motion the the ZSTG is tilted with respect to the x-ray beam axis the x-ray focus will be at different positions on your sample at different energies. This is, because the ZSTG position (meaning the distance between sample and ZP) has to be adjust as the energy is changed. This leads to a drift of them sample in stacks, and also ruins pointspectra.
