This diffractometer has a multiwire areal detector
(HI-STAR) filled with a Xe/methane gas and a XYZ
platform for mounting sample. The X-ray beam is
focalized on the sample area to be analyzed by a
laser coupled to a video microscope.
The goniometer has a theta/theta geometry where both
the detector and the X-ray tube source can move.
The instrument can be used either in reflection or
transmission mode.
It is possible when using a special optical device to
measure small quantity of sample (with a irradiated sample
area of some micrometers only).
