Experimental Hutch 1
Last updated: 18 October 2011
| Equipment or Component | Availability | Comments | ||
| 4-circle diffractometer & CCD detector | Available | Currently optimising. | ||
| Robotic sample changer | Available | Automated sample changing is now available for samples that are stable in air at ambient temperature. Optimisation is ongoing to allow fully automated data collection. | ||
| Energy range 10-22 keV | Available | 18 keV is the standard set up, it is likely that energies down to ~ 7 keV will be available early in 2011. | ||
