The providesÌýcutting-edge capabilities for probing theÌýstructures of materials such as polymers,ÌýbiologicalÌýmacromolecules,Ìýmeso- andÌýnano-porous materials, and molecular self-assemblies with length scales in the range 2Å–1000Ã… using conventional and grazing-incidence SAXS and WAXS. ThisÌýForvisÌýinstrument is built on a 20' optical table withÌýa sliding-door radiation enclosure. The X-rayÌýgenerator is aÌýmicrofocus, sealed-tube sourceÌýand the incident beamÌýisÌýcollimated usingÌýmultilayer mirrors and motorized, scatter-free slits. The temperature-controlled sampleÌýstage allows manual or motorized control ofÌýsample rotation, translation (X-Y-Z) and tilt.Ìý
