Bruker D8 Series I & II

The Bruker D8 Series I and II XRD systems are known for their versatility and high data collection rates, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. Though they appear similar externally, they share few components, and choosing between them depends on the specific application needs. Both support the optional LynxEye PSD and remain excellent choices for advanced powder XRD work.

- FAST
  - Designed for continuous use. Autosamplers from 7 to 90 positions.
  - A refurbished Bruker D8 is the least expensive option for high-speed XRD with a LynxEye Si-Strip detector (SSD)
- SPACIOUS
  - The large, octagonal radiation housing provides room for attachments, accessories, and experimental apparatus. Large, folding doors open wide to allow for easy access to the entire volume.
- CAPABLE
  - Phase Identification and quantification, Whole Pattern Fitting, Rietveld modeling, Crystallite size calculation, Films, Texture with Phi and Chi axes, Thin film analysis with parallel-beam geometry
- VERSATILE
  - We recommend the D8 Series 1 and 2 instruments for more complicated measurements and specialized experiments where the large housing is a benefit and high-speed data collection is a requirement.

Goniometer
- Theta/2Theta and Theta/Theta versions
- Independent control of each axis for grazing incidence and rocking curves
- 0.0001°/step minimum step size.
High-voltage generator
- Medium frequency (20KHz) design
- 3.0 KW max power
- Computer-controlled generator
Source
- Standard air-insulated, short-anode X-ray tube
- Cu, Co, Cr, Mo, Ag anodes and various focal spot sizes available
Sample stages
