Description
This product is an X-ray diffraction system. (radiation enclosure) with electronics rack and system controller, equipped with wide doors for easy access to the diffractometer. Includes two 19" rack positions for additional electronics (e.g. non-ambient controllers). The cabinet complies to the world's most stringent regulations on X-ray, electrical and mechanical safety. The emission level is below 1 microSievert per hour on 10 cm distance, even with Mo or Ag X-ray tubes. The diffractometer cabinet is equipped with a 240 mm radius theta-theta goniometer and a source module for Empyrean X-ray tubes. Also included is data acquisition software Data Collector that contains the following functionality: data acquisition based on the XRDML data platform, measurement strategy determination tools, configuration and measurement management, automatic processing, data conversion and viewing functionality for X-ray diffraction systems. It includes automatic recognition of the PreFIX x-ray optical modules mounted. The MultiCore Optics package consists of the iCore and dCore modules, allowing to perform the largest variety of x-ray diffraction measurements with excellent data quality and no human interaction. It includes also detectors with high energy resolution <5% (typical performance ~340 eV) together with the PreFIX interface for Empyrean diffractometers. System is complete of Empyrean tube for Cu radiation, HR version for an enhanced stability of the focal spot for use with X-ray mirrors, hybrid and Johansson monchromators; system includes the second diffracted beam path, including Fixed Receiving Slits and Fixed Anti-scatter slits and Proportional detector and electronics. Comes packaged in a wooden crate for transport
