Rigaku Ultima IV X-Ray Diffractometer: The Rigaku Ultima IV XRD The Ultima IV is a te state of the art multipurpose X-ray diffraction (XRD) system. It uses Rigaku's cross beam optics (CBO) technology for permanently mounted, permanently aligned and user-selectable parallel and focusing geometries. The Ultima IV X-ray diffractometer can perform characterization of minerals, ceramics, pharameuticals and other powdered materials.
