X-ray Diffractometer (XRD)

PANalytical X’Pert Pro MRD diffraction system

High resolution X-ray diffractometer with horizontal scattering plane is dedicated to thin film analysis using standard Bragg-Brentano setup or grazing incidence techniques using parallel beam provided by X-ray parabolic mirror. 5-axis Euler cradle allows texture pole figures and sin2psi stress measurements. PIXcel 3D area detector increases speed of detector scanning. Domed hot stage Anton Paar DHS 1100 allows in-situ measurements up to 1100°C.
