Bruker D8 Advance with Goebel Mirror X-ray Diffractometer (XRD)

The Gobel Mirrors are synthetic crystals whose properties are defined by complex multi-layers which are deposited on silicon or glass substrates under ultra-high vacuum conditions. To shape the mirror, one of two methods is used. The most common is to carefully bend a silicon substrate, either before or after the multilayer structure is deposited, depending upon the application. For highly-demanding thin film requirements, the mirror can be fabricated using a preshaped quartz substrate.

Bruker Alpha ATR Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR)

The ALPHA interferometer is used in our laboratory and rugged process spectrometers. This means the ALPHA delivers the performance and reproducible results people have come to expect from a Bruker FT-IR spectrometer. The ALPHA is also insensitive to vibration, so it can be placed almost anywhere, can be moved, and be immediately operational without any need for alignment.
