Bruker D8 Discover X-ray Diffractometer with a General Area Detector Diffraction System (GADDS): This system is available in a variety of configurations to fulfill requirement of different applications and samples. It’s flexible with samples size and sample amounts, inhomogeneous or oriented sample of complex shape geometry. With 2-D HighStar detector it needs very short measuring time. Typical applications include microdiffraction, phase ID, stress analysis and X-Y mapping.
