Sample Handling: Roboticsautomated MAR sample changer
1. Detector: TypeCCD
1. Detector: ModelMARMOSAIC 225
1. Detector: DetailsThe MARdtb permits to lift the MARMosaic detector by angle of up to 30 degrees to permit high resolution studies or to facilitate data collection on crystals with large unit cells.
1. Detector: Activated for Serviceinfo currently not available
1. Detector: Removed from Service
2. Detector: TypeFLUORESCENCE
2. Detector: ModelRontec Xflash
2. Detector: DetailsBruker/AXS (formerly Roentec) PX-XFlash energy-sensitive X-ray fluorescence detector. An automatically controlled attenuation wheel has been inserted in the beamline in order to facilitate the recording of a fluorescence scan in the presence of a large signal.
