High-performance SAXS / WAXS
The Empyrean Nano edition is a hybrid laboratory instrument that enables for a unique
combination of various advanced X-ray scattering techniques on a single platform.
Small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering are the main applications.
SAXS / WAXS features:
Intensity [a.u.]
• Compact and easy to use
T = 5 °C
• Evacuated beam path
T = 70 °C
• Temperature control
irreversible aggregation
• High sensitivity
at elevated temperature
• Short measurement times
• 1D and 2D collimation
• High resolution detectors

Summary
Like no other instrument on the market, the Empyrean Nano edition offers the unique
combination of USAXS, 1D and 2D SAXS / WAXS and total scattering (PDF) techniques.
With an accessible scattering vector q-range
of almost five decades it allows to probe
Bragg spacings from sub-Angstrom to almost
two microns. This makes the Empyrean Nano
edition an ideal tool for analyzing structures
and dimensions of (nano-)materials on multiple
length scales.
Typical samples that can be analyzed
include nanoparticles, colloids, polymers,
protein solutions, surfactants, liquid crystals,
nanocomposites, and porous materials.
