How it Works
Pioneering Technology, Unmatched Speed
Co-developed by Stenman Minerals Ab and the personnel at the Material Science Beamline of the Swiss Light Source (SLS), a Synchrotron Radiation Facility operated by the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), and further refined with the expertise of the Swiss Technology Transfer Centre ANAXAM to meet industrial standards.
High-Throughput Acquisition
Intense monochromatic synchrotron x-rays, incorporated with robust sample changing automation, allow for sample change and data collection in just 8 seconds per sample. This enables the processing of extremely large sample batches in a very short time. Sample sorting enables the archiving of your samples in an organized manner.
Innovative Sample Handling
Our technology, inspired by Martian exploration, utilizes synchrotron x-rays in transmission geometry with a Vibrating Sample Holder. Samples are prepared in coded, sealed capsules. This technology completely overcomes the preferred orientation and texture effect, ensuring correct particle statistics and making precise and superior data quality possible.
DECTRIS® Photon Counting Technology
World-leading detector technology features a large, noiseless photon counting area detector, allowing for the acquisition of the entire diffraction pattern at once. The integration of the rings further enhances particle statistics, delivering uncompromised diffraction data for quantitative phase analysis and ensuring precise and accurate results.
