Course Overview

X-Ray techniques provide a powerful non-destructive method for the investigation of a materials composition and surface structure.

On this course you will gain practical experience using our advanced X-ray diffractometer, including the key knowledge required to analyse and interpret the results obtained from experimental setup to determining crystallographic information using common XRD software.
