Major Facility Upgrades
Micro-X-Ray Diffraction Capability Now Available to EMSL Users. The x-ray beam can be focused to a 10-micron spot size and is capable of analyzing samples using either an automated x-y stage for planar samples such as petrographic thin sections, sealed capillary tubes for air sensitive powders, or fiber-mounted particulate samples. The detector is a curved image plate and is capable of measuring a large portion of the Ewald diffraction volume at one time. This detector coupled with the bright rotating anode x-ray source will enable rapid data acquisition on even minute samples. Both copper and chromium x-ray wavelengths are available.
