PANalytical - Empyrean
The multipurpose solution for your analytical needs
It is PANalytical's answer to the challenges of modern materials research, where the lifetime of a diffractometer is considerably longer than the horizon of any research project.
Empyrean
The standard Empyrean platform with the high resolution theta-theta goniometer is a true multi-purpose research diffractometer. Empyrean has the unique ability to measure all sample types - from powders to thin films, from nanomaterials to solid objects - on a single instrument. Thanks to the PreFIX concept for optics and stages, users can vary the application of choice in matter of minutes, without the need to realign the system.
Empyrean - Alpha-1
Empyrean Alpha-1 is configured with a unique symmetric Ge monochromator (Johansson type) giving perfect Cu or Co KΑ1-only Bragg-Brentano reflection geometry data for structure determination, with unrivaled resolution, excellent peak symmetry, and ultra-low backgrounds. Thanks to the PreFIX concept on the tube housing, users can easily swap between KΑ1-only configuration to KΑ1,2 in a matter of minutes.
