Instrumentation

Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)
This equipment is a very versatile, high resolution, low vacuum FEG SEM with extended low volume capabilities. In addition, this equipment has the unique capability that includes a 1000°C heating stage which allows samples to be heated while the user records in-situ morphological changes.

Bruker D8 Advance High Temperature X-Ray Diffractometer
This equipment is a state of the art x-ray diffraction system with high precision, two-circle goniometers with independent stepper motors and optical encoders. The goniometers are designed to operate either horizontally or vertically. In addition, the machine is equipped with a high temperature chamber that can operate to 1200 °C. This equipment is equipped with a LinxEye Detector that reduces run time and significantly aids with through put.
