Face indexing — Built to dimension

Face indexing
Face indexing

Numerical absorption correction is an efficient and accurate method to describe absorption effects. The method requires a precise description of the crystal shape, which typically is obtained via the indexing of the crystal’s faces. The high quality video microscope – integrated in all Bruker single crystal solutions – features a semi-automated face-indexing based on the video taken during the course of the analysis.

Faster numerical absorption correction

Our easy-to-use tools invoking intelligent helpers make the crystal description for numerical absorption correction faster and more accurate than ever - only a few mouse clicks away. Use the crystal shape information during scaling and optionally add an empirical absorption correction based on true-data multiplicity e.g. to correct for absorption effect caused by the crystal mount.
