Description
This product is a unique X-ray scattering platform enabling high-performance measurements using line and point collimation setups. The instrument is based on a theta-theta goniometer that optionally allows to extend the accessible range of scattering angles both to ultra-small angles for USAXS experiments and to very high angles for total scattering (PDF) experiments with hard radiation. In this way a range of scattering vectors spanning over almost five orders of magnitude can be accessed, which allows to analyze structures and dimensions on length scales ranging from sub-Angstrom up to approximately 1 micrometer. Included in the system is a Cu HR X-ray tube, a focusing X-ray mirror, the ScatterX78 SAXS/WAXS module with a temperature control unit, a 2D SAXS/WAXS kit and vacuum equipment, the PIXcel3D detector including required accessories, sample holders for liquids and solids, sample preparation tools, various software packages (EasySAXS, XRD2DScan and PANViewer), and user documentation. Also includes a diffractometer cabinet (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. Comes packaged in a wooden crate for transport

Justification
Classification has been determined in accordance with the following: For the purposes of determining the commodity codes within which goods most appropriately fall, reg 3 (1) of The Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 sets out that the rules of interpretation contained in the following have effect – a. Part Two (Goods Classification Table Rules of Interpretation) of the Tariff of the United Kingdom (Reg 3(1)(a)); and b. Notes to a section or chapter of the Goods Classification Table (Reg 3(1)(b)). General Interpretative Rules (GIRs): GIR 1 has been used to classify this product by the terms of heading 9022 - Apparatus based on the use of X-rays or of alpha, beta, gamma or other ionising radiation, whether or not for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, X-ray tubes and other X-ray generators, high tension generators, control panels and desks, screens, examination or treatment tables, chairs and the like GIR 5(b) has been used to identify the type of packaging GIR 6 has been used to classify the goods to sub-heading 9022 19 – For other uses Also classified in accordance with : Harmonised Standard Explanatory Notes (HSENs) to heading 9022 part (1)(C) refers
