X-ray microscope (XRD) Bruker Discover D8

The characteristic crystal structure of materials can be made visible and analyzed by the diffraction of X-rays. Preferential orientations and residual stresses introduced by manufacturing processes can also be determined. The Institute of Materials Science has a modern X-ray diffractometer with which both minimal quantities of powder and real components can be examined.
