We present a robust experimental design for performing time-resolved measurement with IR femtosecond laser pulses and attosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses. The setup contains no reflective optical elements and provides an IR-XUV delay control down to 5 attoseconds without any active stabilization. Temporal characterization of an attosecond XUV pulse train generated in krypton is presented here to demonstrate the validity of our approach.
