D8 VENTURE – The Standard for Quality and Versatility in Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

The D8 VENTURE hosts the experimental setup in a more spacious enclosure that also provides room for rotating anode and dual wavelengths solution. All systems feature the revolutionary PHOTON 100 CMOS detector. The D8 VENTURE offers highest experimental flexibility, with good accessibility and sample visibility. The patented doors can either be opened in a sliding-door-mode or as swinging doors. 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 VENTURE 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.
