There is also a variety of sample holders and transfer fixtures that can further expand the possibilities of your SDCOM’s applications, ensuring compatibility with your workflow. Manual and motorized wafer mapping stages are also available.
- User-friendly precision
SDCOM delivers excellent precision of up to 0.01o depending on the sample, and is able to measure crystals ranging from 1 mm and upwards in size. This precision is maintained at the highest speeds thanks to the azimuthal scan method, which provides full characterization of crystal orientation within a single measuring rotation. There is also an option to include a lateral crystal direction marking function.
Thanks to manual handling and intuitive software design, the SDCOM is easy to use and accessible for a range of user types – practical in both research and industry, where user experience levels may vary.
- Cost-effective
SDCOM’s X-ray tube is air-cooled, eliminating the need for water cooling. Thanks to the SDCOM’s efficiency and small footprint, its energy consumption is kept to a minimum – and so are your running costs.
