G3 diffractometer with 2D detector setup
The instrument is used for a novel method that allows imaging using the radiation diffracted by polycrystalline samples (and/or their fluorescence). It applies a micro-channel plate as collimator in front of a position sensitive detector (CCD-camera) such allowing the position resolved detection of radiation from a sample area of more than 1 cm2. The spatial resolution is proportional to the sample to detector distance (currently 12 µm for 12 mm distance).↵
Typical applications are:
