PIN Diode Detector

Used to monitor the direct beam intensity, this detector is essential for instrument alignment. The sytem consists of a PIN diode detector housed in custom AL casing and an amplifier-converter unit, which directly outputs a frequency signal proportional to x-ray intensity. The frequency output can be connected to a counter and read out by a computer. See product Brochure for details.

Motorized Sample Stage Top

This custom stage fits into popular Huber goniometers and provides X-Y-Z translations with 2 mm resolution.

X-ray Vacuum Slits Top

Motorized X-Y slits have four independent Tungsten blades for accurate definition of the beam. The slits are enclosed in a vacuum housing with coupling to common flanges.

Temperature Controlled Sample Chamber Top

Designed for in-site XRD studies of proteins and polymers, the sample chamber maintains sample temperature at between -20oC - +150oC. The integrated temperature controller and power supply unit provides 0.01oC temperature stability.

Vacuum Beam Stop Top

Housed in a large vacuum chamber, the beam stop is mounted on a suspended frame with motorized or manual X-Y translations for easy alignment.

Custom Sample Holder for Philips XPERT MRD Top

The custom holder replaces standard Philips thin film sample holders. The stage consists of a base plate and magnetic clamps, which can be positioned arbitrarily on the base plate to secure irregularly shaped samples. Very each to install and use. Also available is a replacement stage with tilt adjustments for substrate miscut correction.
