The facility houses a Bruker-Nonius KappaCCD area detector X-ray diffractometer equipped with a fully integrated 4-circle goniometer and an FR590 3 kW sealed tube generator.  Data collections are performed routinely at low temperatures (-50 to -150 º C) with sealed, fine-focus molybdenum-target tubes operated at 55 kV and 32 mA.  We are capable of handling samples that are sensitive to air, moisture, and/or temperature and we welcome all challenges.  Additional equipment includes an Olympus SZ Stereo Microscope with polarizing attachments, access to the Cambridge Structural Database^©, and several Linux and Windows based PCs.
