What We Offer: What We Offer: 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, and crystal monochromator
• Beam Definition: 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 or motorized), tilt adjustments
• Environment Chamber: Temperature and humidity chambers, flow cells
• Sample Holders: Capillary, powder, wafer, and freely suspended
• Flight Paths: Evacuated or helium filled depending on detector requirements
• Scatterless slit, Linear PSD, Solid state
• Detector: Scintillation, linear solid state PSD, and 2D detectors (image plate and solid state)
• Beam Stop: Suspended in air or vacuum chamber, manual or motorized adjustments, 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

How We Deliver It: We start from a careful evaluation of the customer's application requirements. Based on technical specifications derived from this analysis, we will recommend an instrument configuration which would meet the customer's needs and budget. The design will be refined and finalized through close consultation with the customer.

We work closely with our customers in the construction phase as well. We can deliver a complete turnkey system or work with the customer to construct the instrument on-site. The latter approach is preferred by some customers because it offers added training and educational benefits.
