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

Right now we are in the process of aligning the instrument with the Cu-tube, and test out capabilities of SAXS (Small-Angle X-ray Scattering). With the parallel beam optics fitted, this instrument will also be well suited for Grazing-Incidence Diffraction. |

Currently the Mo-tube is in use. |

Well suited for (Cu radiation):
- 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)
