Description
Europe 600 is a benchtop general purpose diffractometer for XRD qualitative and quantitative analysis of polycrystalline materials. It is available in two different version, with Theta/2Theta goniometer and with the new Theta/Theta goniometer manufactured by GNR.
Its compact size and robust design enables installation and operations in a small space and low cost of ownership and maintenance.
Thanks to the wide offer of configurations and accessories, such as high speed detector, scintillation counter, secondary monochromator, spinner and multiple sample holder, Europe 600 is the perfect instrument for fast-paced routine industrial quality assurance analysis and for teaching XRD at academic level.
Europe operating at 600 watts enables faster analysis and oustanding overall results.
- Ultra Compact
- Theta/2Theta and Theta/Theta oustanding goniometer
- Fail Safe Radiation Enclosure
- Fast Detector available
- Incident Beam Variable Slit
- Simple installation and easy of use
Software
Europe adopts a specific modular design software package able to support the user in all activities. GNR software supports several type of analysis, from Data Acquisition, having the full control of all the process and hardware settings (motors, x-ray generator and tube, detector, measurements set up) to Data Analysis.
Match! is an easy-to-use software for phase identification from powder diffraction data.
It compares the diffraction pattern of your sample to a database containing reference patterns in order to identify the phases which are present. Additional knowledge about the sample like known phases, elements or density can be applied easily.
In addition to this qualitative analysis, a quantitative analysis (using Rietveld refinement) can be performed as well. You could easily setup and run Rietveld refinements from within Match!, with the actual calculations being performed automatically, using the well-known program FullProf in the background. Match! provides a gentle introduction into Rietveld refinement, from fully automatic operation to the “Expert” mode.
As reference database, you can apply the included free-of-charge COD database and/or ICSD/Retrieve (if you have a valid license), use any ICDD PDF product, and/or create a user database based on your own diffraction patterns.
