DESCRIPTION:The PANalytical X'Pert Pro diffractometer is an excellent choic
 e for X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The default mode of this instrument
  is in Bragg-Brentano parafocusing geometry\, which is used for polycrysta
 lline materials. We usually keep a linear position sensitive detector on t
 he instrument\, which permits rapid data collection for angles higher than
  4 degrees 2Theta.\n\nThe basic instrument training session will focus on 
 the collection of powder diffraction data using the high-speed optics\, wh
 ich consist of programmable divergence slits and X'Celerator high-speed de
 tector\, and the Open Eularian Cradle (OEC) sample stage. This configurati
 on is best suited for high-speed high-resolution data collection from powd
 ers and polycrystalline thin films.\n\nAccessories include several differe
 nt sample stages and optics. After you have completed this training\, you 
 can request individaul training on the other configurations available with
  this instrument. There are three other sample stages that are available: 
 (1) the 15 position automatic sample changer\, (2) the furnace that can he
 at samples up to 1200 C\, and (3) the cyrostat that can cool samples down 
 to 11 K. The PANalytical also can be configured parallel-beam optics for g
 razing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). After you have completed the ba
 sic training\, you can request individual training on using the other conf
 igurations.\n\nUsers of this instrument should also strongly consider taki
 ng a data analysis course to suit their needs\, such as the line profile f
 itting course for crystallite size and microstrain analysis\, the Rietveld
  refinement series for quantitative phase analysis and unit cell analysis\
 , or the Introduction to High Score Plus for qualitative phase identificat
 ion and database search techniques.
