RE: Powder diffraction and Fuji image plate

[Skage Reidar Hem]

Dear Natale,

 

At Laurentian University we used exactly this technology at the Central 
Analytical Facility- we cut slices of the image plates to fit the Gandolfi 
camera - it worked well (with some hassle). I believe Andy McDonald (he is at 
the Dept. of Geology) is still using it. 

 

I'm not working with it any longer and I don't know how the technology evolved 
since 2006 - but I believe we used the BAS-1800 as well.

 

Best regards

Subject: Powder diffraction and Fuji image plate

 

Dear All,

we are going to purchase a Fuji image plate system (Fuji BAS-1800) for our 
X-ray lab. I am planning to use these plates for powder diffraction, to be 
performed on small (<0.1mm) mineral fragments; the device to be used is still 
to be assembled. A possible choice could be to use a collimator, a Gandolfi 
camera basement for the crystal motion, the diffraction effects being then 
recorded in flat-plane geometry by the Fuji plate. Another choice would be to 
put the flat plane plate on a 4-circle diffractometer. There are several 
important details to be considered, and I wonder what to do to optimize the 
device, provided that we will have a budget of some Keuro to purchase the 
various components of the device.  I will be happy to hear your advices and to 
give more informations to anyone interested.

best regards       Natale Perchiazzi
