X-Ray Diffraction Facility


X-Ray Generator:
High brilliance Rigaku RU-H3R rotating anode x-ray generator.
Focusing Mirror:
Osmic cross-coupled parallel beam multi-layer optical system, producing highly parallel and brilliant x-ray beam.
X-Ray Detector:
The newest and the most powerful Rigaku R-AXIS IV imaging plate x-ray detector for macromolecular structure determination.
Low Temperature Device:
MSC's X-Stream---the first cryogenic system to generate nitrogen from air on site and deliver cold nitrogen stream at temperature as low as -180 degree C around the clock.
Diffractometer:
Rigaku AFC5R four circle diffractometer for small molecule structure determination.
Computers:
A network of five SGI workstations and several PC's loaded with a lot of crystallographic program packages.
