ANSTO

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is Australia’s national nuclear research and development organisation and is responsible for delivering specialised advice, scientific services and products to government, industry, academia and other research organisations. ANSTO’s Bragg Institute leads Australia in the use of neutron scattering and X-ray techniques to solve complex research and industrial problems in many important fields. The new OPAL research reactor places the Bragg Institute at the forefront of the world's best neutron research facilities.

Bruker

Bruker AXS is the world’s leading provider of advanced X-ray diffraction and scattering solutions. Bruker’s unique product portfolio offers state-of-the-art solutions, with the NANOSTAR as the nec plus ultra, for exploring the nanostructure of materials in life sciences and materials science; no matter whether Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS) or Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GI-SAXS) is the analysis method of choice.

Hecus – the innovation factory for nanoanalytical systems – now offers the latest camera system for SAXS/SWAXS/GISAXS measurements: the S3-MICROpix (the well-known S3-MICRO with the Pilatus 100K pixel detector (Dectris, CH) ). Revolutionary x-ray point-focussing optics combined with the versatile detection system Pilatus 100K allow for highest brilliance, economy and ultimate performance of the X-Ray camera. Experience shorter measurement times, therefore better measurements and consequently clearer pictures. Radiation hardness and ultimate linearity are other important benefits. Applications: protein solution SAXS, nanoparticle sizing, thin-film structure analysis, LC phase mapping, nanopowder porosity.

Products and services include: - neutron guides with supper-mirror coatings (up to m = 5.0, neutronically inspected) as well as in-pile, shutter, focusing, bender designs; - magnetic bearing levitated high-speed chopper systems including Fermi choppers in customized arrangements, sizes and geometries; - velocity selectors; - 2D multi-wire position sensitive detectors with active area up to 600x800mm, beam monitors; - vacuum chambers, high-precision exchange collimation systems, detector tanks, diaphgrams, shieldings; - high-precision beam shaping devices; - sample environment; - electronic controls, operation softwares; Installation of the above is provided by an expert team worldwide.

Rayonix

Rayonix offers advanced area detectors for X-ray diffraction applications. The single-chip SX165 CCD detector is now available with ultra-stable background option for SAXS, frameshift option for time-resolved experiments, and will soon be offered in a high efficiency back-illuminated CCD version (SX165 HE). Its larger multi-chip cousin, the MX HE detector, is now well-established with multiple installations. These detectors are especially suited to SAXS or micro-diffraction applications. Rayonix is developing a new MX HS (High Speed) mosaic CCD detector. Rayonix also distributes Marresearch image plates and crystallography systems in North America. Visit our booth to talk to a scientist about your specific application.

SwissNeutronics covers a wide range of neutron optics and the planning, design, construction, and installation of complete instruments. Our strengths are supermirrors with exceptionally large critical angles up to m = 6, efficient polarizers with m up to 4 and P > 98%, non-linear, truly curved optics for the transport and the focusing of neutrons, as well as focusing polarizing and non-polarizing monochromators. In addition, SwissNeutronics provides ancillary equipment for beam lines like monochromator shieldings, slits, vacuum casings etc. Last but not least, SwissNeutronics offers a service for optimizing the neutronic performance of beam lines, and for shielding and magnetic field calculations using Monte-Carlo and finite element analysis, respectively.
