SmartLab, which was announced as a thin film sample X-ray diffractometer in 2005, is a high-precision goniometer with a high-intensity X-ray source based on an innovative ergonomic design, and is widely used by many users. SmartLab has been updated several times in the 13 years since its launch. This year, an even more sophisticated model of SmartLab was introduced.
In addition to the encoder-controlled-type high-precision horizontal sample mount goniometer featured in previous SmartLab models, this SmartLab offers many new features, including an advanced, safer cabinet; a longer-life high-intensity X-ray source; a multi-dimensional detector, the HyPix-3000, with improved sensitivity; an optical system supporting different types of measurement; and integrated software to control the system.
