$Extended Capabilities for High Temperature X-Ray Diffractometers$

Extended Capabilities for High Temperature X-Ray Diffractometers

Modern materials science demands sophisticated tools to perform investigations
in defined environments and under controlled temperature conditions. Non-ambient
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is established for a wide range of industrial and research
applications. Now, a new capillary extension, compatible with PANalytical's
combined X’Pert PRO MPD/HTK 1200N High-Temperature Oven Chamber (Anton
Paar) system, expands the capabilities of this already powerful combination.
