Modular Design for Top-of-class Results

The NANOSTAR with its incomparable modularity is the ideal tool for characterization of nanostructures ranging from 1 nm to about 125 nm and nanostructured surfaces by SAXS, GI-SAXS and Nanography.

The mirror-conditioned pinhole collimation system provides a highly intense, parallel X-ray beam so that short measuring times can be achieved. At the same time, the collimation system maintains the ideal circular beam shape and is very efficient in eliminating background, which allows analyzing very weakly scattering samples as well as large structures.

In fact, the NANOSTAR analyzes pure sample properties, even for non-isotropic sample systems. The modular design permits setting the detector-so-sample distance from 11.5 mm up to 1070 mm. Hence, the entire range from SAXS to WAXS can be covered – in combination with the Image Plate (IP) option even simultaneously.
