Guinier Camera

The Guinier camera is a specialized X-ray diffraction tool used in materials science to analyze the structures of very small samples, like nanoparticles or thin films. It helps scientists study how X-rays scatter when they hit a material, revealing information about its atomic arrangement. This technique provides insights into properties such as crystallinity and particle size, enabling researchers to understand the material's behavior and potential applications in areas like nanotechnology and pharmaceuticals. By using a Guinier camera, scientists can gain valuable data without needing large quantities of material.
