Description

For the first time the Huber G670 offers a modern image plate detection method in the Guinier geometry. In many Guinier cameras the over 100 years old wet film technique has been replaced by step-by-step counting scintillation and proportional detectors. Although this enables digital data acquisition, measurement times can not be significantly reduced and remain in the range of hours to days. In contrast to this, the desired data is available within a few minutes with Huber´s image plate detection method. The only similarities with classical Guinier cameras are the geometry and the high resolution - instead, the Huber G670 can be seen as a fully-fledged diffractometer.
In addition to the image memory foil, the housing of the 670 camera contains the laser recording unit with photomultiplier and pre-amplifier as well as the halogen deleting lamp. This compact Guinier powder diffractometer unites the high resolution of the old analog wet film method with the high sensitivity of image plate detection technology. Thus it is capable of providing digital powder diffractograms within the shortest possible time which can then be processed further by Rietveld analysis or similar methods.
The provided measurement software runs under MS-Windows and generates diffractogram files with up to 20001 points in all standard file formats.

Sample supports and environments

The 670 camera housing with the measurement electronics is shielded from
ambient light and self-contained. The X-rays diffracted in the sample enter
the camera by means of a side-mounted incidence window.
Various different sample supports are available which can be reproducibly
attached to the outside of the camera housing by means of two screws.
