Diffraction Equipment


The facility possesses three detectors in two separate locations.

In room 862 RRB(telephone: 3-3476):

  • Rigaku RU-200HB rotating-anode with copper target and Osmic confocal mirrors serving an Raxis IV image plate area detector. Cryogenic data collection is accomplished with an X-stream cryostat.
  • Oxford Diffraction XcaliburPX Ultra with an ONYX CCD detector. The unit is served by an Oxford Cryojet cryostat. This detector is listed as "ONYX" on the instrument scheduling page.


    In room 5263 BIOSCI/MRB III (telephone: 6-5685):

  • Bruker Microstar microfocus rotating-anode X-ray generator with two Bruker Proteum PT135 CCD area detectors, X8Land X8R on kappa goniometers. Cryostats are Bruker Kryo-Flex. X8L is additionally equipped with the Bruker Bruno sample changing robot for automated crystal screening and diffraction data collection.

    Crystallization Equipment


    The facility includes a room for viewing and recording crystallization experiments in room 5263 BIOSCI/MRB III
  • crystallization incubators maintained at a variety of temperatures
  • two Leica MZ12 microscopes with polarizer/analyzer; one with a CCD camera for photographing crystals.
  • Leica MZ6 microscope with polarizer/analyzer.
