Can be used with either:
1) Mo radiation and focussing focusing mirror optics.
2a) Cu radiation, Bragg Brentano
2b) Cu radiation, parrallel parallel beam optics

Currently the CuMo-tube is in use, and the xyz-sample stage is mounted. It is easy to swap between regular Bragg-Brentano and parallel beam optics used for Grazing-Incidence Diffraction.. |

- Grazing-incidence diffraction
- Small-angle X-ray Scattering (under development)
Well suited for (Mo radiation):
- Determination of precise crystal lattice parameters (using the capillary stage)
- Detailed analysis of materials with known or partially known structures (lattice parameters, bond lengths and angles, thermal parameters)
- Completion of partially solved structures
- Elimination of preferred orientation
- Suppression of fluorescence from Co, Mn and Fe based samples thanks to Mo radiation
- Pair distribution functions (total scattering analysis)
- Absorbing samples in transmission
- In situ studies of solid/gas reactions in flow cell
- In situ studies on batteries
Not so good for (Mo radiation):
...
- Capillary spinner (mounted most of the time)
- Transmission sample holder stage
- Standard sample stage
- Heat blower for capillary stage
- Flipstick 9 position sample changer (to come)
- Automated XYZ stage (to come)
- Possibility to mount furnace (in future)
