The individual components of the instrumental setup, such as the x-ray sources (tube, IµS, MJXS), X-ray optics, detectors (LYNXEYE family, VÅNTEC-500, PILATUS3 R 100K-A) and sample holder or sample stages (Cradles, UMCs, etc) can be exchanged with customized components. We routinely perform computer simulations of customized setups to ensure overall system compatibility.
Examples include channel-cut monochromator crystals with seldom-used reflections, polycapillary optic generating very small focus spots, or custom sample mounts.
