DicifferX WAXS Edition

High-intensity micro X-ray beam for unmatched speed

By combining a high-intensity rotating anode X-ray generator with a high-precision multilayer focusing mirror, the system achieves an X-ray intensity of 10⁹ cps with a 200 μm beam width, directing a high-brilliance beam onto the sample.

The high-brilliance X-ray beam not only shortens measurement time significantly but also enhances time resolution. This enables high-speed time-resolved measurements that capture structural changes over time, such as during isothermal stretching of film materials.

Goniometer-free design for a spacious sample area and flexible attachments

The sample space, measuring 420 mm (H) × 190 mm (W) × 400 mm (D) with a load capacity of 5 kg, provides ample room for a wide variety of environmental stages and attachments. Linkam stretching and heating/cooling stages can also be controlled directly through Rigaku’s software, ensuring flexible adaptation to diverse sample environments and measurement needs.

Extended measurement capabilities for 2D data over a wide 2θ range (up to 360°)

The distance between the sample and the detector can be adjusted within a range of 40 to 140 mm. In two-dimensional flat-plate measurements, the system also supports coverage over a full 360° in the β direction.

Unique polymer structure analysis software

Rigaku’s proprietary software, specialized for polymer structure analysis, enables quantitative analysis of key information related to the properties of polymer materials—such as crystal structures and orientation distributions—using two-dimensional data, and provides clear visual representations of the results.
