High Quality XRD Measurements Using Capillaries

Join us for a free 60-minute webinar and discover how to achieve high-quality X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements using capillaries—an essential technique for accurate material analysis.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a valuable non-destructive technique used for analyzing various materials. This webinar will focus on the application of capillaries in XRD measurements, particularly effective for organic samples and those containing light elements. However, analyzing heavier elements poses challenges due to higher X-ray absorption. We will explore how to adjust measurement conditions, optics, and sample preparation to obtain high-quality XRD data, even with a copper (Cu) radiation source.

Additionally, the webinar will highlight the benefits of using capillaries, including their capability to work with small sample sizes, reduce errors from preferred orientation, and minimize absorption issues.

This session will cover:
Optimizing XRD Measurements: Best practices for achieving accurate data from samples with varying electron densities.
Effective Sample Preparation: Techniques to minimize preferred orientation and absorption effects.
Practical Insights: Tuning measurement conditions for better results with Cu radiation.
