Instruments

 

FR-E SuperBright X-ray Generator


The FR-E SuperBright X-ray generator provides the highest usable flux of any generator available for the home laboratory. 
It is a high brilliance generator that operates at only 2kW with a focal spot size of 0.07mm

With the FR-E SuperBright you can:

Screen crystals where no diffraction is seen on a standard system;
Collect full data sets on samples where only low-resolution reflections were seen;
Solve samples that were previously unsolvable due to poor data quality.


Two detectors: R-AXIS HTC and R-AXIS IV

R-AXIS HTC is a three image plate detector that provides throughput approaching that of CCD detectors with the large active area and superlative dynamic range of an image plate detector. Suitable for the high intensities of a synchrotron or the perfect complement to the in-house rotating anode generators and high throughput crystallography.

R-AXIS IV
is a two image plate detector.


Scheduling

X-ray Schedule

Requesting X-ray Time

Please email jinghua@burnham.org requesting X-ray time.  You will be put on a waiting list and notified by email when it is your turn.  The rule is basically "first come, first serve", but screening for synchrotron time has higher priority.  Please also email Jinghua when you will be done as early as possible so next user can be prepared.
