The Micro-Furnace is a compact and lightweight sample heater that makes it the best choice for maintaining goniometer mechanical performances. It can be used either for tomography, X-ray scattering experiments (reflection, transmission) or diffraction in fluorescence mode. Samples can be heated from room temperature up to 700°C in a static gas configuration or up to 800°C in vacuum.
The furnace can be operated under gas flow. The performances achieved then depend on the process parameters. Simple and flexible interfaces make the system easily adaptable to any existing beamline design. It can be operated in a wide energy range thanks to low and homogenous X-ray absorption by the furnace during the whole rotation of the sample.
IRELEC proposes this equipment with a license agreement with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF).
