Xenocs’ Xeuss 3.0 is the next generation X-ray scattering laboratory beamline for the characterization of nanostructured materials. It uses Small Angle and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) in both sample transmission or grazing incidence (GI) to collect structural information at both the atomic and nanoscale. Optional Ultra Small Angle X-ray Scattering (USAXS) extends the characterization scale to few microns sized structures.
(GI-)SAXS/WAXS/USAXS beamline for the laboratory
Benefiting from 20 years of innovation and more than 10 years of customer experience on in-vacuum motorized detector travel technology and on Xeuss SAXS systems, the Xeuss 3.0 is the next generation beamline for your lab:
Maximum flexibility – Measuring capability of sample structures from atomic scale up to a few microns is achieved through entirely motorized changes of instrument configurations providing structural tools to a large community of users with full remote operation and high throughput.
Unique measuring performance – Xeuss 3.0 offers excellent data quality both in terms of detectable Q-range, high signal to noise and absolute intensity accuracy. Improved measurement quality is achieved by using best in class sources, optics, detectors and long-travel Q-Xoom moving detectors.
Plenty of space for sample environments –Not having to move sample to change instrument resolution, Xeuss 3.0 enables unique space and freedom at sample area offering openness for future needs.
Multi-application instrument
The Xeuss 3.0 is a multi-application instrument that could be used to characterize a large variety of materials such as block or semicrystalline polymers, colloids, nanoparticles, proteins in solutions, alloys. Xeuss 3.0 is delivered with a powerful software suite including Xenocs XSACT data analysis software providing extensive algorithms together with high user experience.
Example of measuring parameters and applications include:
- Crystalline fraction and lamellar structure for semicrystalline polymers
