SAXSess mc² is a new measuring system for nanostructure analysis using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Nanosized particles and sample domains scatter towards small angles. The SAXS pattern provides information on the overall size and shape of these particles. The modular system architecture of SAXSess mc² enables users to select the optimal setup for their applications. This makes it a universal tool for investigating nanostructures in different materials, including proteins, foods, pharmaceuticals, polymers, nanoparticles and catalysts.
