A Bruker D8 Venture DUO diffractometer equipped with two X-ray sources and a Photon
III C14 detector. The ImuS microfocus X-ray sources are Cu, which is particularly
well suited for the study of small, weakly scattering crystals and for absolute configuration
determination of chiral organics and also Ag, which is good for high resolution data
on highly absorbing materials. The diffractometer is also equipped with an Oxford
Cryostream 1000 cryostat capable of maintaining temperatures in the range 90-400K.
Most data are collected at about 100K.
A Bruker Kappa Apex-II diffractometer equipped with a sealed-tube Mo X-ray source
and Triumph focusing monochromator. This instrument is equipped with an Oxford Cryostream
model 700 cryostat.
Four Windows 10 computers with complete suites of crystallographic software. Software
is the Bruker Apex5 suite, which includes diffractometer-control routines, SHELXT
and SHELXL structure solution and refinement programs, and graphics interfaces. The
department also has a site license for the Cambridge Structural Database and associated
software for searching and analyzing literature structures.
A Zeiss 2000-C stereo zoom polarizing microscope for sample manipulation and crystal
mounting. It is equipped with a digital camera and a TV display, which allows others
to observe what is seen through the microscope and photography of samples.
