X-ray Diffraction Units

The science of x-ray diffraction, sometimes also called x-ray crystallography, is an exacting process that determines the molecular or atomic structure of a substance. X-rays are transmitted into the object, and the angles of diffraction help map the miniscule construction of the object. With proper mapping, the crystallographer is able to create a three-dimensional recreation of it, allowing for examination of not just the location of the molecules and atoms but also their chemical composition.

Since the second decade of the 20th century, x-ray diffraction has been instrumental in several industries, including medicine, metallurgy and mineralogy. The science has developed exponentially, and its application has garnered amazing results in spacial exploration. In October of 2012, the Curiosity rover involved in the surface exploration of Mars, conducted x-ray diffraction examination of Martian soil, presenting some of the first hard evidence that the planet's surface was similar to Hawaii's volcanic nature.

Whether used in science or industry, the x-ray machines, like the x-ray diffraction units from X-RayWizards.com, are capable of creating either a 2D or 3D images of material composition, phase identification, stresses, degree of crystallization, texture and several more factors. Often used in analysis of medical implants, aircraft parts and segments, semiconductors, and more.

Determine the type of examination and analysis fits your project, and choose the right diffraction equipment and tests for reliable results that extend well beyond the parameters of even an electron microscope.
