The SAXSLAB Retro-F is a small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) instrument. It can be used to measure transmission SAXS/WAXS patterns from bulk solid samples, powders, liquids, and gels, as well as grazing incidence small- or wide-angle X-ray scattering (GI-SAXS/WAXS) on nanostructured surfaces. SAXS is particularly suited to study the morphological characteristics of internal interfaces of contrasting electron density, such as co-polymers, polymer-solvent, or solid-pore interfaces as well as nanostructured composites or nanoparticles in solution.
- 3-axis sample stage for sample positioning and incident angle alignment
- Variable collimation slits for variable beam size (1000 – 20 μm)
- Variable sample-to-detector distance (100 – 1500 mm)
- Vacuum chamber to remove air scattering (0.08 mbar)
- Linkam HFSX350 temperature stage for in situ heating/cooling (-196 – 350 °C)
- X-ray Source: Microfocus sealed tube: copper target
- Detectors: DECTRIS PILATUS 300K 2D detector
