        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.

          SAMPLE HOLDERS 
          
 
          Two types of holders, for powder and bulk samples, are available for 
          use with the Miniflex's vertical goniometer.
