Laue X-ray CCD Camera

The high resolution Laue X-ray imaging system allows a high-resolution digital backscattered Laue diffraction pattern to be recorded.

Micro Photonics and Photonic Science are proud to introduce the Pre-Aligned Full Laue System, consisting of Laue camera, X-ray generator, a choice of goniometers, and full X-ray safety cabinet.  The X-ray beam passes through the camera and is collimated down to <1mm diameter. The active area input dimension is similar to that of Polaroid film: i.e. 156mm x 104.4mm. Exposures from a few seconds up to >30 minutes can be adjusted during manual or automatic crystal orientation routines before cutting.

 + Pre-Aligned, quick and Accurate!

 + Almost Zero Maintenance!

 + Accuracy down to 0.02 degrees!

 + Full Safety Cabinet System!

A 5 second exposure!  Amazing image quality withing a few seconds.

 

 

 

 

Twinned structures occurring during crystal growth can be unveiled using a high resolution mode. The standard high resolution Laue X-ray imaging system is a simple solution for a replacement of Polaroid film. Complete systems with real time sensing capabilities can be provided to order including X-ray source, collimation, goniometer and indexing software.

If you have an old system, just upgrade what you need. A new compact generator, high resolution Laue camera or goniometers.  Microdiffraction set up for both laboratory and or synchrotron sources can be provided on demand using a very high resolution Laue camera.
