SAXS instruments

SAXS (Small-Angle X-ray Scattering) instruments analyze how X-rays scatter when they pass through a sample, revealing information about its structure at a very small scale, such as molecules, proteins, or nanomaterials. The sample is exposed to X-rays, and detectors measure the tiny angles at which the rays scatter. This data helps scientists understand shapes, sizes, and arrangements of the structures within the sample. SAXS is a non-destructive technique widely used in materials science, biology, and chemistry to study complex substances in solution or solid form.
