Experimental Hutch - View panorama
| Equipment or Component | Availability | Comments |
| EH: 6-circle Newport diffractometer with dummy cell close-up downstream view (DAC) single crystal in air: upstream and downstream view | Restricted motions due to mounts. Omega and phi scans for single crystal diffraction available. | Important: sample co-ordinate system is NOT identical to x-ray beam co-ordinate system. |
| EH: Second Table (micro-focussing option)
| Available soon | Sample motions and micro-focussing available soon. |
| Perkin Elmer flat panel 1621 EN detector 2048 x 2048 pixels (0.2mm pixel size) | Available | Weak and overexposed reflections might cause problems. Images can be recorded while DAC is rocking. Software used for integration of images is Fit2D. A tutorial video how to calibrate wavelenght and detector-to-sample distance can be found here. This video uses input parameters for the PE detector. |
| Atlas CCD Oxford diffraction. Mainly used for single-crystal x-ray but available for powder diffraction on demand. | For experienced single-crystal users. Knowledge of Crysalis software advantageous. | Software and hardware for single-crystal collection is under development. Software used for analysis is Crysalis. Note: Crystals may suffer radiation damage. |
| 3450 x 3450 'pixels' (0.1mm 'pixel' size in standard configuration) | Available | Images can be recorded while DAC is rocking. Software used for integration of image is Fit2D. A tutorial video how to calibrate wavelenght and detector-to-sample distance can be found here. This video uses input parameters for the PE detector. |
| "standard" V-block mount for Diamond-Anvil Cells (side- and top-view) | Users requested to provide their own (DAC)
| Requires a 50 mm or 60 mm diameter DAC to fit a specific V-block for the diffractometer. A standard Huber goniometer head (model numbers 1003 and 1004) can be mounted. Any other mount needs to be specified well in advance of experiment. |
| On-line pressure measurement via optical fibres. | Available | 473 nm laser. |
| Pressure measurement off-line, Horiba Jobin-Yvon (iHR320) spectrometer and fibre coupled laser. | Available | 473 nm laser, sensitive for ruby fluorescence to 100 GPa. |
| A sample preparation area is equipped with basic tools to load cells. | Available | Microscope available, fluid/solid media sample management, and gasket preparation (spark erosion and mechanical drilling). |
| Glove box (microscope attached) | Available | Inert gas |
| Peripheral labs | Available | Off-line Raman |
| White-beam | Available on request |
