WSXC-10 X-Ray Laue Camera

Application

The WSXC-10 camera is used for the orientation of single crystal samples where cutting along strictly determined crystallographic planes is required.

General Characteristics:

WSXC10 camera is designed to hold crystals in the process of determining crystallographic orientation using Laue back reflection. The diffracted beams are registered by the wet film photographic method.

WSXC-10 X-Ray camera requires the following:

  • WSG01 goniometer
  • 125 mm long optical track
  • target screen with collimator and film holder
  • Special adapter that fixes the goniometer on the wire saw horizontal carriage.

A crystal can be rotated 360° in one axis with 0.1° vernier and 120° in second axis with 0.1° vernier. The goniometer can be fixed to the WS-22, WS-22B Wire Saw. The crystal is cemented to a mounting table which is the central element of the goniometer. There are precision rises available to increase the height of the goniometer when working with crystals that are too small to reach the beam. If the face of the crystal is rotated to a position that is not in the path of the x-ray or optical beam, the table can be moved up to 10 mm on either side of center in order to realign the crystal with the x-ray or optical beam. After the crystal is properly oriented, the whole goniometer is transferred to a saw for cutting the oriented surfaces or slices. The WSXC-10 camera is constructed of hard stainless material. The scales are deeply engraved.

WSXC-22 X-Ray Laue Camera

Application

The WSXC 22 camera is used for the orientation of single crystals samples using transmition or back reflection X-ray Laue method..

General Characteristics:

WSXC-22 camera requires the following:

  • WSG-02 goniometer
  • 250mm long optical track
  • Target screen with collimator and special film holder

The WSXC-22 camera is designed to hold crystals in the process of determining crystallographic orientation using Laue back reflection or transmission techniques. The crystal is cemented to a mounting table which is the central element of the goniometer. There are precision rises available to increase the height of the table when working with crystals that are too small to reach the beam. If the face of the crystal is rotated to a position that is not in the path of the X-ray the table can be moved up to 10 mm on either side of center in order to realign the crystal with the X-ray beam. Crystal can be rotated 360° around the horizontal axis with fine adjustments of +-10 degrees and a 0.5-degree tolerance and 140 degrees around the vertical axis with fine adjustments of +-10 degrees and a 0.5-degree tolerance. After orientation, the goniometer is fixed on the precision wire saw horizontal carriage to cut the sample along the earlier determined crystallographic plane. The WSXC-22 camera is constructed of hard stainless material. The scales are deeply engraved.
