Xenocs Xeuss 3.0 HR
Small- and Wide- Angle X-ray Scattering

The Xeuss 3.0 HR small and wide angle X-ray scattering system allows the simultaneous measurement of the scattering intensity at small scattering angles (SAXS) and at larger scattering angles (WAXS) using 2D "Hybrid Single Photon Counting" detectors. Special features are the detector positions within the vacuum tube, which can be adjusted in all spatial directions, as well as the automatically adjustable beam collimation between 50 µm and 2000 µm beam size. This enables a particularly high level of flexibility in choosing the measurable scattering angle range, the achievable resolution and the achievable data quality.
