Xeuss Pro for Nanoscale Characterization

Xeuss Pro is the latest X-ray scattering laboratory beamline from Xenocs. Specifically designed for characterizing nanostructured materials, the Xeuss Pro advanced beamline employs Small-Angle X-ray Scattering and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) in both grazing incidence (GI) and sample transmission to acquire structural data at the atomic scale and nanoscale.

Thanks to optional Ultra-Small Angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) and X-ray Imaging modules, the characterization scale can be extended to structures ranging from a few microns to millimeters.

SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS/USAXS/Imaging Beamline for the Laboratory

Building on over two decades of innovation and a decade of customer experience with Xeuss SAXS systems, the Xeuss Pro beamline sets new standards in X-ray scattering instrumentation. Engineered for exceptional versatility and precision, it enables atomic- to nano-scale characterization for both scientific research and industrial applications, all within your lab.

Maximum Flexibility

Through fully motorized changes of instrument configurations, users can extend the resolution of the characterized structures from the atomic scale up to a few microns and even to millimeters. This provides structural tools for a large number of users with high throughput and complete remote operation.

Unique Measuring Performance

The Xeuss Pro provides exceptional data quality in terms of high signal-to-noise, detectable Q-range, and absolute intensity precision. Users can achieve better measurement quality through premium detectors, optics, sources, and long-travel Q-Xoom moving detectors.

Plenty of Space for Sample Environments

The Xeuss Pro allows unique freedom and space in the sample area, without requiring users to move their samples to change the resolution of the instrument. This feature provides flexibility for upcoming sample environment requirements.

Multi-Application Instrument

As a multi-application instrument, the Xeuss Pro can be used to define a wide range of materials, such as semi-crystalline or block polymers, alloys, proteins in solutions, nanoparticles, and colloids.

The Xeuss Pro comes with a robust software suite, including Xenocs XSACT Pro data analysis software, which features comprehensive algorithms and an intuitive user interface for an enhanced user experience.

Examples of applications and measuring parameters are given below:

Size distribution of particles in powders or dispersions between a few nanometers and a few hundred nanometers.

Lamellar structure and crystalline fraction for semi-crystalline polymers.

Structural orientation in stretched polymers.

Phase analysis for liquid crystals or mesoporous systems.

Shape and size of nano-objects.

The molecular weight of polymers or proteins diluted in a solution.

Dynamic analysis of nanostructures based on shear, tensile, humidity, and temperature.

Key Features and Benefits
