Bruker D8 Quest Diamond Single Crystal XRD (Mo source)
Mo source single-crystal XRD with the latest Photon IV detector for quick crystal structure analysis
Description
The installation of our new D8 QUEST marks a new era for our research centre.
The hybrid diamond technology in our new X-ray source delivers intensity comparable to rotating-anode-level intensity but with virtually no maintenance. The large-area PHOTON IV detector perfectly matches the high-intensity X-ray source. Even for our typically thin micro-crystals, we obtain high-quality datasets in just 15–20 minutes.
