DBM unit for Cu (option: 2726H112) 

 

SmartLab: Automated Multipurpose X-ray Diffractometer       

71

 

DBM unit for Cu (option: 2726H112) 

This unit is used to monochromatize the diffracted beam such that only K

α

 

x-rays are detected. 
Change the curvature of the monochromating crystal from Bent (para-focusing 
geometry) to Flat (parallel beam geometry) by rotating the dial on the top of the 
monochromator housing. 
 

 

DBM (diffracted beam monochromator) unit for Cu 

 

Diffracted beam monochromator unit using Cu for para-focusing optics only (Bent only) can 
be supplied (2726H113). 

 

1

  Install the scintillation counter on the diffracted beam monochromator 

unit. Secure it in place with the Allen wrench provided.
