Real X-ray powder diffraction in a teaching lab, indexed by your students.
Polycrystalline powder samples, which crystallize in the three cubic Bravais types, simple, face-centered and body-centered, are irradiated with the radiation from a Roentgen tube with a copper anode.
All units adapted for 110V/60Hz. Contact us for volume pricing and grant assistance.
Sweep the diffraction angle across a silicon powder pattern. When you land on a peak, the lattice plane and its spacing appear.
Bring this to your lab →Load a polycrystalline powder with a diamond-type crystal structure into the X-ray unit.
Using Bragg-Brentano geometry, students scan the detector and record intensity peaks at characteristic angles.
Assign each peak to a set of lattice planes, identify the crystal structure and calculate the lattice constant.
Typical student results: diffraction peaks from a diamond-structure powder, with lattice planes labeled (illustrative).
Yes. Units supplied through American Scientific are adapted for 110V/60Hz and supported in the U.S., including warranty and replacement parts.
Tell us about your lab in the form above and we'll put together a complete, ready-to-teach configuration, so nothing is missing on day one.
Often, yes. Many institutions fund PHYWE equipment through NSF, Title IV and CTE programs, and our team can help you find and apply for the right opportunity.
