Bruker Venture D8

   

Summary

The D8 VENTURE diffractometer is based on Bruker's D8 goniometer with kappa--geometry. The system includes a  Photon CMOS detector, Mo-ImS microsource and Oxford Cryosystem 800 low temperature Device. The instrument produces data of excellent quality for both normal structure determination, and electron density experiments.  Normally samples are submitted for analysis, but user training is provided upon request.  The student must have completed a formal crystallographic course at ISU or other institution before training will be scheduled.

The instrument is located in 1709 Gilman Hall.  Enquiries should be directed to Dr. Arkady Ellern.  Phone 515-294-7956 (office).  The instrument can be reserved on-line using iLabs.  Reservation approval is required.
