D8 DISCOVER FAMILY

The D8 DISCOVER is an all purpose X-ray analyzer family which can be configured for all X-ray diffraction- and scattering-based material research applications, including qualitative and quantitative phase analysis, structure analysis, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, reflectometry, reciprocal space mapping, gracing incidence diffraction (in-plane GID), gracing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), stress and texture analysis, and micro-diffraction, depending on accessories.

DIFFRAC.DAVINCI guides the user to the optimal instrument configurations no matter what the applications is. The DIFFRAC.SUITE software package guides novice users through streamlined method development and execution while assisting experts in an unobtrusive manner. Powerful analysis software allows simple push button analysis with exceptional depth for those who are interested in achieving the best results.

The D8 DISCOVER Family includes the DISCOVER and DISCOVER Plus variations, differentiated by the standard D8 goniometer or the ATLAS goniometer.

Thanks to its very spacious enclosure, the D8 DISCOVER allows for costomized instrumental setups that push the limits of laboratory X-ray diffraction.

The D8 DISCOVER enclosure offers one of the largest interiors in laboratory X-ray diffraction. Patented door technology allows seamless switching between slide-mode for fast access to change samples and swing mode for full access to the entire enclosure.

The status of the instrument is clearly displayed with LED X-ray status lights and interactive screen keys capable of showing exactly the current state of the instrument. The interior is lit with dimmable LED lighting. Cable management is built into the enclosure including a removable labyrinth for easy cable routing. The base of the unit uses a standard 19” rack mount design for mounting of accessory controllers such as temperature stages.

Ultimate safety and quality: The D8 DISCOVER fully complies with all current EU directives, therefore establishing and guaranteeing the world’s highest standards for analytical X-ray equipment including X-ray safety, machine safety, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.

Goniometers are the foundation of an X-ray diffractometer. The D8 DISCOVER is available with two options:

Our standard D8 goniometer features top of class performance with the industry’s only alignment guarantee for peak positions. Precision dovetail tracks allow easy repositioning of components with available distance detection for the EIGER2 R detectors on the secondary track. The center hub includes a high precision bayonet stage mounting mechanism to ensure the sample stage is positioned exactly in the center of the goniometer.

ATLAS is at the heart of every D8 DISCOVER Plus solution, taking materials research to a new level. With increased accuracy and beam positioning in both the equatorial and axial planes, ATLAS pushes the complete solution alignment guarantee even further. Additional load capacity allows unique new components including the TXS-HE source and Non-Coplanar arm.
