X-Ray Technology
X-Ray Diffraction is a powerful technique used in material and life sciences, physics, chemistry, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing. It uses focused X-ray beams to determine chemical compositions, characterise crystalline structures, identify minerals and more.
Regarded as one of the most powerful XRDs available today. Supports the analysis of powders, films and textiles on the single, easy-to-use system.
Optional accessories can support a comprehensive system capable of real-time, in-situ analysis and mapping measurements.
