We design customized x-ray diffraction instruments to suit the customer's specific application and budget. We can design and integrate each instrument using a large collection of custom developed and third party modular components and subsystems.

  • X-ray Sources: Rotating Anode,Sealed-tube,Micro-source
  • Optics: Göbel mirror mirror, and channel-cut crystal monochromator
  • Beam Collimation : Manual and motorized low background scatterless slits, in air or vacuum
  • Intensity Control: Automatic attenuators and shutter, incident beam monitor
  • Sample Stage: 1-4 circles of rotation, X-Y-Z translations (manual/motorized), tilt adj.
  • Sample Holders: Capillary, powder, wafer, and freely suspended
  • Flight Paths: Evacuated or helium filled depending on detector requirements
  • Scatterless slit, Linear PSD, Solid state
  • Point and 1D Detector: Scintillation, linear solid state PSD
  • 2D Detector: 2D (Pilatus R and Eiger R series from Dectris, and CCD detectors)
  • Beam Stop: Suspended in air or vacuum chamber, manual/motorized, no wire shadow!
  • Radiation Enclosures: Custom made, with size ranging from tabletop to full room
  • Data Acquisition Control: SPEC, Labview
  • Data Analysis: Third party package specified by users
