Bruker D8 Discover XRD
Powerful rotating copper anode X-ray source
Description
The D8 Discover is a flexible thin-film instrument with a powerful rotating copper anode X-ray source producing higher X-ray flux at your sample than is possible with the sealed X-ray sources on the other instruments.
Specifications
- 5-6 kW Cu rotating anode.
- Centric Eulerian cradle that integrates Chi and Phi rotations, and X-Y-Z translations.
- The instrument can be set up with a LYNXEYE silicon strip detector for fast detection and energy filtering of unwanted fluorescence from the sample.
- Large area detector (VÅNTEC-500 with 13.5 cm diameter) for 2D XRD experiments including RSM and diffraction mapping.
- Anton Paar DCS 350 Wide Range Chamber enabling measurements under vacuum between -100°C up to +350°C .
Applications
- Material structure determination & identification
- In-situ and in-operando phase analysis with variable temperature
- Texture, stress, micro-diffraction, GIXRD, GISAXS, capillary, reciprocal space mapping (RSM).
- Microdiffraction mapping.
