Liquid Nitrogen Cryostat

The UK National Crystallography Service (NCS) facility is amongst the most powerful and highest throughput of its type in the world, with its core business being to handle and examine samples that a typical academic crystallography unit cannot. The technique provides structural characterisation at atomic resolution, enabling the molecular and whole solid-state structure to be elucidated. It is based on taking a single crystallite and shining X-rays on it - the mathematical synthesis of the diffracted X-ray beams en...
