The Micro-Furnace is a sample-heating system that is compact and lightweight, making it the best choice for maintaining the goniometer’s mechanical performance. It can be used either for tomography, X-ray scattering experiments (reflection, transmission) or diffraction in fluorescence mode. Samples can be heated from room temperature up to 700°C in a static gas configuration or up to 800°C in vacuum.
The furnace can be operated under gas flow. Its performance depends on the process parameters.
A simple and flexible interface makes the system easily adaptable to any existing beamline design. It can be operated in a wide energy range thanks to low and homogenous X-ray absorption by the furnace during the whole rotation of the sample.
IRELEC proposes this equipment with a license agreement with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF).
