A new UHV-chamber for magneto-optical reflectometry and polarimetry experiments is presented. It enables measurements from the VIS to the soft X-ray range, using xenon- and deuterium-lamps or synchrotron radiation. The samplemagnetisation is generated by a quadrupol-magnetometer via rotating 8 NdFeB-permanentmagnets. The magnetic field is tunable from -500 mT to +500 mT in longitudinal or tranversal geometry. This device avoids thermal load, sophisticated UHV-compatible water cooling and offers reflection- and scattering experiments in a wide angular range. The presented 5-axes-polarimeter allows simple intensity measurements as well as polarisation analysis of the light after interaction with the magnetized sample in L- and T-MOKE-geometry. Practical features are in-situ sample transfer, easy chamber alignment and compatibility to synchrotron radiation beamlines as well as to light sources in the laboratory.
