This instrument consists of a 2 kW copper target and theta-theta goniometer. The sample holder remains horizontal during the scan, and therefore, there is no need to use adhesive substances to mount samples onto a low background sample holder plate. Similar to D/max-B, the Rigaku Multiflex is also configured in focusing geometry where a secondary monochromator removes the scattered signal except that corresponding to Cu Kalpha wavelength. A pre-aligned sample holder and friendly operating software make the powder diffraction experiments very easy with this instrument.
