Anton Paar SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS/RheoSAXS laboratory beamline - SAXSpoint 5.0
SAXSpoint 5.0 is the ultimate SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS/RheoSAXS laboratory beamline with synchrotron detector technology for the highest resolution in a compact system. Benefit from Anton Paar’s brilliant SAXS system resolving nanostructures up to 620 nm. SAXSpoint 5.0 enables the utmost flexibility for analysis of almost any material under ambient and non-ambient conditions. Many additional optional features make SAXSpoint 5.0 ready for future applications up to the micrometer range (USAXS). Enjoy easy access to non-destructive investigations of materials’ properties via powerful software packages which enable automatic operation and data analysis.
