Crystallography

ID11 has a strong programme of experiments using the more "traditional" diffraction methods such as single crystal and powder diffraction techniques alongside time resolved studies.

Powder diffraction

The sample is inside a Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC), which is mounted onto the diffractometer. 

The first step consists in centering the sample in the beam, and then the data collection is automated for a post-processing involving Crysalis.
