The D8 FOCUS is the access key to the world of powder diffraction. Based on the D8 Series II technology the D8 FOCUS follows our high quality standards and makes no compromises in performance and data quality. Hard- and software are optimized for easy operation - making it the ideal instrument for a multi-user laboratory as well as university teaching.
Simple choices for the optimal performance.
The focusing Bragg-Brentano geometry with slits provides the best resolution for flat powder samples.
For irregularly shaped samples and non-ambient measurements the parallel beam geometry with a Göbel mirror is the optimum setup.
You need both? No problem! Optics and sample holders can be exchanged without tools or alignment.
Choose the detector for your application!
Standard is the scintillation counter, with high dynamic range and low internal background.
If you have fluorescent samples, you can lower that background and increase the sensitivity using the energy dispersive Sol-X detector.
You need fast results? Sure! The linear detector LynxEye can speed up the measurement up to 200 times.
What information do you get?
X-ray diffraction with the D8 FOCUS can identify and quantify the different phases inside a powder sample.
For new materials you can solve and refine the crytsalline structure using the TOPAS software.
The same data provides also information on the crystallite size and the microstrain.
