The power of powder techniques is such that they have had an impact in most of the major developments in the field of new materials during recent years - with solid electrolytes, high-temperature superconductors, fullerenes, zeolites and giant magnetoresistance materials being obvious examples. As a consequence, powder diffraction has been transformed into one of the most exciting areas in scientific instrumentation.

Ultima IV multipurpose X-ray diffraction system

What if your diffractometer aligned itself?

Fast

The Ultima IV represents the state of the art in multipurpose X-ray diffraction (XRD) systems. Incorporating Rigaku's patented cross beam optics (CBO) technology for permanently mounted, permanently aligned and user-selectable parallel and focusing geometries, the Ultima IV X-ray diffractometer can perform many different measurements...fast.

Flexible

The Ultima IV is the only XRD system in the market today that incorporates fully automatic alignment. When coupled with CBO, the automatic alignment capability makes the Ultima IV X-ray diffractometer the most flexible system available for multipurpose applications.

Functional

"Perhaps the greatest challenge facing X-ray diffractometer users today is how to minimize time and effort spent on re-configuration of the system for different applications."

—Wade Adams, Ph.D., Director, 
Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science & Technology
 Rice University

In the Ultima IV XRD system, CBO technology eliminates time spent switching geometries, enables everyday users to run both sets of experiments without the need to reconfigure the system, and reduces wear and possible optic damage associated with the recurrent switching process. 

CBO and automatic alignment combine for the ultimate in functionality for:

  • Powder diffraction
  • Thin film diffraction
  • Small angle scattering
  • In-plane scattering
