X-ray Defraction

 

Nanolab has a Rigaku MiniFlex Tabletop XRD system for our daily use. The Miniflex is a compact X-ray diffraction system. This precise instrument is a handy analytical tool; and, the accompanying software which works in a Windows™ environment is the industry standard. An outstanding cost-to-performance ratio is achieved. The built-in goniometer is factory aligned and requires no additional calibration. Start-up and operation of the instrument is extremely simple; novices can become proficient operators in a short period of time. Measurement and processing software can be operated on any conforming Windows PC, making X-ray Diffraction more accessible to everyone.

Features & benefits include:

  • SMALL SELF-CONTAINED RADIATION ENCLOSURE
    When the radiation enclosure door is opened, the X-ray shutter will automatically close. This function completely protects the user from exposure.
  • INSTRUMENT STATUS DISPLAY
    Instrument status is available on demand to monitor the functions of the components.
  • CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE SLIT
    The Continuously variable slit is linked to the θ-axis, widening to maintain a constant irradiated area as θ becomes larger. This will improve the peak-to-background ratio at low 2θ angles as well as increase the X-ray intensity at high 2 angles. These improvements are important for the measurement of clay minerals, concrete skeleton materials, etc.
  • POWERFUL DATA PROCESSING SOFTWARE
    » Profile smoothing
    » Kα2 removal
    » Background subtraction
    » Peak search
  • SAMPLE HOLDERS
    Two types of holders, for powder and bulk samples, are available for use with the Miniflex's vertical goniometer.
