… better probe the nanoworld – N8 HORIZON DAVINCI Design Our N8 HORIZON Small and Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS - WAXS) system was developed in accordance with the principles of our DAVINCI design: Take the best analytical method and most advanced technologies and combine them with ultimate ease-of-use and safety to offer a perfect solution for all applications. The most prominent characteristic of our N8 HORIZON – compared to traditional SAXS systems – is the innovative vertical instrument setup. This simple rotation offers two major benefits: Firstly, no other system with comparable...

SAXS is the analytical method of choice for native environment data. It provides the unrivalled flexibility to characterize all kinds of sample states and forms in real life or under non-ambient conditions. Native Environment Data Changing perspective will brighten up your horizon. Firstly, no other system with comparable performance has such a small footprint in valuable lab space. Secondly, gravity is working for you. Samples are easily mounted with no need for fixing aids. During measurement, samples will never flow, sink or fall out of the X-ray beam. The most prominent characteristic of...
