D8 QUEST – The Standard for Quality in Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

The D8 QUEST is a compact solution designed for single wavelength experiments that feature the revolutionary PHOTON 100 CMOS detector. The systems offer high experimental flexibility, with good accessibility and sample visibility in a small-foot-print enclosure. Based on the principles of DAVINCI.DESIGN it is engineered with high modularity from best-in-class components and is available in all-air-cooled configurations. As a result the D8 QUEST offers a solution that will exactly match the demands of your research needs. Best Structure guaranteed.

FIXED-CHI and KAPPA - We Invented Them Both

Choose the goniometer with a sphere of confusion of less than 7 micrometer to ensure that even your smallest sample stays reliably in the center of the X-ray beam. Either select the ingenious FIXED-CHI sample stage with its minimum number of moving parts or the KAPPA sample stage, giving you the highest possible degree of freedom in sample positioning. Whatever your choice, we deliver the ultimate goniometer precision.
