X-Ray

Diffractometer

XRD

To study crystallographic properties such as
phases, angles and distance between planes etc.
These pieces of information are useful as they
indicate properties such as strengths, chemical

signature, ease of dissolvation etc. OneSight

How It Works
This analytical technique is non destructive. X-rays focused on a sample
fixed on the axis of the goniometer are diffracted by the sample. The
changes in the diffracted X-ray intensities are measured and plotted
against the incident angles of the sample. Qualitative and quantitative
analysis can be performed.
