Desktop Diffractometer MD-10 with Position-Sensitive Detector

This unique device has dimensions and weight of a microwave oven, however it performs phase analysis of powders and solid materials with accuracy and speed comparable to those of full-scale laboratory instruments! And what is still better, it is also much cheaper than its large and heavy rivals.

This is the most price efficient solution for mobile laboratories on cars, ships, helicopters and other transportation facilities, nuclear power stations, small industrial control laboratories, educational laboratories, etc., and may be used successfully in geology, ocean studies, ecology, forensic science and many other applications.

Specific features of the device:  

  • Debye-Scherrer geometry, horizontal sample orientation, spinning sample holder,

  • No goniometer and other precision mechanics,

  • Optical microscope for accurate sample positioning,

  • Two incident-beam monochromators improve signal to noise ratio and double the angular range of the detector,

  • Sealed-off curved position-sensitive detector with curvature radius 114 mm and  Methane-Argon-Xenon gas filling,

  • Precise 12-bit ADC provides high resolution and angular measurement accuracy,

  • Low power air-cooled  X-ray tube with stabilized focus position,

  • High-frequency solid-state single block HV power supply,

  • AC and DC feeding (optional) is possible from mains or a battery,

  • Compact electronic control and data acquisition system in a single module,

  • Small weight, small dimensions, low price

  • Real-time data processing with MS Windows software,

  • Low tube power, radiation protective enclosure and safety interlocks guarantee the safety of the personnel.

To illustrate the device capabilities a diffraction pattern from corundum sample is shown below. The acquisition time was 800 sec.
