Diffractometer
Rigaku Diffractometer
The Rigaku Diffractometer is a complete x-ray diffraction system that enables data collection on a wide range of protein crystal samples. Please contact Jeremy Woodward (jeremy.woodward@uct.ac.za) for more information about the diffractometer
It consists of the following subcomponents and support machinery:
- AFC11 Kappa, 4 Circle goniometer
- Micromax-007HF Microfocus
- Saturn-944 +digital CCD camera system
- PolyCold: Keeps the Saturn-944 at a low controlled temperature
- CCD Image Processing Communication and Stage Control Box
- Hampton Arcless Goniometer Head: holds the crystal in place on the goniometer
- Varimax-HF Confocal Optical System
- Refrigerated heat exchanger: water cooled temperature control to +1° Celsius for nitrogen
- CSCobra: The Non-liquid N2 Cryostream Temperature range of 80-400°K without liquid nitrogen
- Nitrogen Gas generator for Cobra system
- Control Computers
