White Paper | Unlocking Structural Discovery: The Power of Rotating Anode Technology in Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

By delivering significantly higher X-ray flux than other sources, microfocus rotating anodes can dramatically increase your ability to unlock structural discoveries that normally may not be possible in your home lab. Enable faster data collection, get better data quality, and study increasingly complex materials in the home laboratory. This document outlines the technology’s operational principles, scientific advantages, and integration with modern instrumentation—highlighting why a rotating anode can change your research trajectory as essential tools for high-impact crystallographic research.
