Rigaku Diffractometer

The Rigaku Diffractometer is a complete x-ray diffraction system that enables data collection on a wide range of protein crystal samples. It consists of the following subcomponents and support machinery:

1. AFC11 Kappa, 4 Circle goniometer
2. Micromax-007HF Microfocus
3. Saturn-944 +digital CCD camera system
4. PolyCold: Keeps the Saturn-944 at a low controlled temperature
5. CCD Image Processing Communication and Stage Control Box
6. Hampton Arcless Goniometer Head: holds the crystal in place on the goniometer
7. Varimax-HF Confocal Optical System
8. Refrigerated heat exchanger: water cooled temperature control to +1° Celsius for nitrogen
9. CSCobra: The Non-liquid N2 Cryostream Temperature range of 80-400°K without liquid nitrogen
10. Nitrogen Gas generator for Cobra system
11. Control Computers
