SAXS equipment

Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) equipment is a technique that uses X-rays to study the structure of materials at a very small scale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. The setup includes an X-ray source, a sample holder, and a detector. X-rays pass through the sample and scatter in different directions depending on its internal structure. By analyzing the scattered X-rays, scientists can determine information about the shape, size, and arrangement of tiny features within the material. SAXS is widely used in fields like materials science, biology, and nanotechnology to understand complex structures non-destructively.
