B1 - Bruker D8 Advance

Overview

Bruker D8 Advance diffractometer with divergent beam optics, 9 position sample changer with sample rotation and a position sensitive detector. Ideal for quick phase identification.

Optics

Incident beam: divergent beam optics with CuKα_1,2 radiation in line focus used in reflection mode with a fixed anti-scatter knife-edge.

Secondary beam: graphite monochromator can be used with scintillation counter.

Auto and manual absorbers can be used. Most slits are motorized.

Detectors

Single point scintillation detector, or LynxEye position sensitive detector.

Resolution

• 0.0001° minimum step in source and detector
