D8 DISCOVER with DAVINCI design – Advanced X-ray Diffraction System for Materials Research Applications

The D8 DISCOVER with DAVINCI design increases ease-of-use with real-time component detection, plug-and-play functionality and fully integrated 2-dimensional XRD² capabilities. These unique features allow the user to easily switch between all materials research X-ray diffraction applications, including reflectometry, high-resolution diffraction, grazing incidence diffraction (IP-GID), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), as well as residual stress and texture investigations.

Two-dimensional VǺNTEC-500 detector

In particular, for micro-diffraction and ultra-fast reciprocal space mapping, the new two-dimensional VǺNTEC-500 detector with 2048x2048 channels at 144 cm² active area provides highest sensitivity for detecting even the weakest diffraction signals in short measurement times. The D8 DISCOVER with DAVINCI design is designed to meet all the latest X-ray safety regulatory requirements, providing scientists peace-of-mind.

Snap-lock X-ray optics with tool-free switching of the diffraction geometry

An integral part of the D8 DISCOVER with DAVINCI design is the new DIFFRAC.SUITE™ software with consistently implemented automation functionality. An X-ray optics module, a detector, or any accessory mounted onto the instrument registers itself in real-time with its relevant parameters and analytical capabilities, including powerful detection of possible component conflicts. The factory-aligned, snap-lock X-ray optics provide true ‘plug-and-play’ functionality, including automatic and tool-free switching of the diffraction geometry with minimal user intervention. The DIFFRAC.SUITE offers intuitive operation based on a graphical user interface that can be customized to match the operator’s requirements.
