Description
The Rigaku Ultima III is a versatile X-ray diffraction system equipped with a high precision horizontal sample stage and a cross beam optics system to permit either Bragg-Brentano para-focusing beam geometries or high-resolution parallel beam with a motor controlled multilayer mirror. The Ultima III diffractometer enables a variety of powder and thin film measurements, including high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction for phase identification, quantitative analysis, lattice parameter refinement, crystallite size, structure refinement, and residual stress. It is also able to perform small-angle X-ray scattering for particle/pore size and shape analysis on the workstations associated with this upgraded Ultima III system.
Instrument Features
- The UltimaIII is equipped with a 1D D/teX Ultra high-speed silicon strip detector and an automatic sample exchanger (ASC-10)
- A complete set of database and analysis software is available on both the UltimaIII operation PC and workstation PC
Popular Applications
- Powder X-ray diffraction
- Thin-film GIXRD
