The XtaLAB Synergy-ED electron diffractometer, facilitates a smooth transition from data collection to the determination of three-dimensional molecular structures. It is the fruit of innovative collaboration aimed at amalgamating our fundamental technologies: Rigaku’s rapid and highly sensitive electron detector (HyPix-ED), and a cutting-edge instrument management and single crystal analysis software platform (CrysAlisPro for ED), with JEOL’s extensive expertise and market leadership in the design and manufacturing of transmission electron microscopes. The integrated electron diffractometer ensures an uninterrupted workflow from data gathering to the interpretation of 3D molecular structures. This equipment has the capability to examine nano-crystalline samples, thanks to the electron diffraction’s prowess in measuring crystals that are just hundreds of nanometers or less in size. This scale is thousands of times smaller than what can be analyzed using a synchrotron. This apparatus has the capacity to function over a broad temperature spectrum, from 100 K to 1000 K. The technique offers numerous features, including the ability to perform in situ crystallization, absolute structure elucidation, and powder diffraction, among others.
