XPert PRO Xray diffraction for today and tomorrow

X’Pert PRO X-ray diffraction for today and tomorrow

Contents • X-ray diffraction for today how can we make your work easier? • X-ray diffraction for tomorrow the only thing constant in life is change

X’Pert PRO: X-ray diffraction for today Loose powders Phase analysis Stress Flat samples Rough samples Diffractometer Texture Small amounts Crystallography Preferred orientation

The “ideal” diffraction system Fast exchange of : • • • Tubes and tube focus positions Incident beam optics Sample platforms Diffracted beam optics Detectors without re-alignment !

What is X’Pert PRO? Based on the Pre. FIX concept What is Pre. FIX? Pre-aligned Fast Interchangeable X-ray modules Exchange is easy, no re-alignment of hardware

Pre. FIX incident beam optics • Fixed divergence slit • Programmable divergence slit • X-ray mirror • Hybrid monochromator • X-ray lens • Mono capillary • … and more. . .

Pre. FIX sample platforms • • Fixed platforms Stage for large samples Non-ambient chambers Texture cradles Open Eulerian cradle Capillary spinner Spinner … and more. . .

Pre. FIX sample platforms New changer for 15 or 45 samples

Pre. FIX diffracted beam optics • Programmable receiving slit • Programmable or fixed anti-scatter slit • Collimators of 0. 27 , 0. 18 and 0. 09 • Position sensitive detector • … and more. . .

Example of change between configurations • Two systems: – Capillary spinner system – Standard phase analysis • Contents of video presentation – Start: bare system – Build-up of capillary spinner system – Change from capillary spinner to standard phase analysis system

The capillary spinner Anti-scatter housing Hybrid monochromator Anti-scatter housing Soller slits Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) X-ray tube (line focus) D q = 18" - 25" Divergence slit Powder sample in capillary spinner

Conventional phase analysis Detector Soller slits Receiving slit X-ray tube (line focus) Anti scatter slit Soller slits Divergence slit Curved crystal monochromator (Graphite) Beam mask Polycrystalline sample

Another example • A complete powder crystallography laboratory: – capillary spinner for small amounts of powder with preferred orientation problems – focusing incident beam monochromator flat powder samples • Is it possible to combine these systems?

The 1 -reflection system Soller slits Receiving slit Detector Soller slits Irradiation slit Anti scatter slit X-ray tube (line focus) Polycrystalline sample Incident beam monochromator Programmable divergence slit

Can we combine these systems? Move tube tower from 1 to standard position

Can we combine these systems? • Exchange the divergence slit for the hybrid monochromator • Exchange the sample platform • Exchange the receiving slit for a position sensitive detector

Conclusions X’Pert PRO gives you the ultimate flexibility for handling various types of X-ray analysis Today & Tomorrow
