WAXS X-ray scattering instrument Empyrean Nano

SAXSUSAXS

The Empyrean Nano edition is a hybrid laboratory X-ray scattering instrument. It uniquely enables for a variety of techniques for the structural characterization of (nano)materials on multiple length scales. Main applications: Small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering SAXS on biological macromolecules Ultra small-angle X-ray scattering Several other applications, such as powder diffraction, thin film analysis and CT can be added - also as later upgrades. The high performance and flexibility of the instrument are driven by a high-resolution goniometer platform, a modular concept and latest detector technology. (Nano)material analysis on multiple length scales Like no other lab instrument on the market, the Empyrean Nano edition covers Bragg spacings from sub-Ångströms to micron(s) and a scattering vector q-range spanning over almost five decades - without any gaps. The combination of USAXS with SAXS/WAXS and PDF measurements on the Empyrean Nano edition uniquely enables for the characterization of hierarchical structures on multiple length scales, covering Bragg spacings from sub-Ångström to micron(s). Key applications SAXS is the main application on the Empyrean Nano edition. It is one of the most versatile tools to analyze nanoscale structures and dimensions on a variety of sample types (liquids, powders, solids, gels...). Samples may be amorphous, crystalline or semi-crystalline. Typical samples that can be investigated with SAXS include colloidal dispersions, surfactants, polymers, biomacromolecules, membranes, nanocomposites,
