Figure 5
A typical X-ray diffractometer setup with a cryosystem. At the center is a crystal mounted on a pin magnetically held on a goniometer head. Clockwise from lower right corner: X-ray source collimator pointing towards the crystal with X-ray beamstop; black microscope; microscope display of the crystal in the cross-hairs mounted in a loop; X-ray detector; cryosystem nozzle pointing at the crystal; orange X-ray shutter indicator lamp. Note that the cryonozzle is pointing obliquely at the sample position so that the cryogenic gas impinges neither on the goniometer head nor on the X-ray detector, nor does it obscure the view of the crystal through the microscope. |
