Jorge,
I purchased a Rigaku Rapid a few years ago (now superseded by the "Spider", I believe) which I use extensively for single crystal, powder and thin film work. Unless you are extremely careful, the powder patterns can have somewhat broadened peaks which makes doing very high quality size/strain, for example, a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, I can collect a powder pattern on a few mg of material in a matter of minutes (so it is great for phase ID, etc).

We are planning to buy one and we need some information. Thank you. Jorge González González Escuela de Ciencias Químicas Universidad de Colima, Colima, México.
