SAXSpoint 5.0 is the ultimate SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS/USAXS/RheoSAXS laboratory beamline with synchrotron detector technology for the highest resolution in a compact system. Anton Paar’s brilliant SAXS system resolves nanostructures up to 620 nm. SAXSpoint 5.0 offers flexible analysis of almost any material under ambient and non-ambient conditions. A number of additional optional features equip SAXSpoint 5.0 for future applications up to the micrometer range (USAXS). Easily perform non-destructive investigations of material properties via powerful software packages that enable automatic operation and data analysis.
Key features
Excellent data quality with short measurement times
SAXSpoint 5.0 employs a brilliant X-ray beam with high spectral purity and scatterless beam collimation. Equipped with powerful microsource or MetalJet X-ray sources and high-performance optics, it delivers excellent results within exceptionally short exposure times. Combined with the latest hybrid photon-counting (HPC) detectors, it ensures high-quality SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS/USAXS/RheoSAXS results for the analysis of your nanostructured materials. Excellent resolution is reached with this brilliant setup, resolving structures up to 620 nm (USAXS up to the µm range) with the most compact system size (3.6 x 0.9 m) of its class.
Obtain SAXS and WAXS data in one go
SAXSpoint 5.0 features a moving detector, Slidemaster, which enables completely automatic X-ray scattering studies over a very wide q-range. Obtain SAXS and WAXS data in one go without additional realignment of the system. Choose your optimum q-range from the highest SAXS resolution to a wide WAXS regime for every experiment by just moving the detector.
SAXSpoint 5.0 provides automatic beamstop selection and positioning for your measurement. As it integrates the latest EIGER2 R detectors, windowless and beamstop-less measurements can be performed.
SAXS analysis challenging? Working with SAXSpoint 5.0 isn’t
Automating routine tasks to accelerate the way to measurement is standard in the SAXSpoint 5.0 lab system. SAXSpoint 5.0 is equipped with Stagemaster, which automatically aligns all X-ray components and sample stages, recognizes which stage is implemented, and configures the system accordingly. This gives you the best possible result for your measurement setup. Automate your sample throughput with the low-volume autosampler for liquids for up to 192 sample with a temperature-controlled well plate compartment for sample cooling and heating during storage.
Choose stages: One system for all experimental conditions
Almost any nanostructured material can be analyzed with various sample stages from Anton Paar. Switching between different sample stages is easy and fast with TrueFocus, which ensures automatic alignment of all components.
- TCStage sample-holder units: temperature-controlled studies from -150 °C to 600 °C
- Humidity Stage: analysis under defined RH and temperature
- GISAXS/GIXD stage: studies of nanostructured surfaces and thin films
- Heated/cooled sampler: automated studies with temperature-controlled samplers
- Tensile stage: analysis of nanostructured fibers under defined mechanical load
- RheoSAXS module: combined full rheological and nanostructural investigations in one go
Powerful control and data analysis software
SAXS data analysis is complex. The intuitive SAXSdrive™ and SAXSanalysis™ software solutions are the easiest way to obtain results. They support automated routine steps, like measurement setup and alignment, and comprehensive data analysis. Set up serial measurements, benefit from automated sampling, temperature scans, and time-dependent studies, and analyze your 1D and 2D data sets using customizable templates. Determination of parameters like radius of gyration (RG), particle size, Porod constant, specific surface, Kratky plot, etc. is standard in SAXSanalysis™.
