  • X-ray generator
    • 2.2 kW Cu K-alpha (Mo K-alpha optional) radiation long-fine focus tube
    • Focus size : 0.4 x 12 mm
    • Cross Beam Optics for user-selectable focusing and parallel beam optical configurations
  • Goniometer
    • Goniometer radius : 285 mm
    • Scanning mode : θs/θd coupled or θs, θd independent
    • Theta/Theta wide angle goniometer: from -3° to +154° [2-theta]
    • Minimum step size : 0.0001°
  • Detector
    • Scintillation
    • D/teX-ULTRA high speed detectors
  • Accessories
    • Wide range of sample holders
    • Thin-film attachment for thin-film X-ray reflectivity, in-plane diffraction and orientation analysis
    • In-plane attachment provides additional detector scanning axis normal to theta/2-theta diffraction plane
    • High-temperature stage (room temperature to ~1500 C) operates in air, gas or vacuum)
    • Temperature controlled humidity stage (5-60 C up to 95% RH)
    • SAXS attachment and software
    • PDXL software: display, pattern overlay, search match, Rietveld analysis, and many other features
