The X’Pert PRO MPD is a highly versatile and powerful X-ray diffractometer (XRD) designed for structural characterization of crystalline materials. It is ideal for pure research as well as routine applications in industry and academia. Thanks to its modular design, fast detection, and control of temperature and atmosphere, it is excellently suited for both routine analyses and complex in-situ experiments.

Key features:
- Multiple measurement geometries possible:
- Reflection measurements in Bragg-Brentano (θ–2θ) mode
- Transmission geometry for powders in capillaries
- Optional SAXS (Small-Angle X-ray Scattering) for nanostructure analysis
- Radiation source and detectors:
- Typically copper anode (Cu-Kα, λ ≈ 1.54 Å)
- X’Celerator detector (1D, ultra-fast) for parallel data acquisition
- Modular system with PreFIX technology:
- Rapid change of optics and sample stages without recalibration
- In-situ measurements at high temperatures:
- Measurements up to approx. 1200°C possible
- Controlled atmosphere: air, nitrogen, oxygen (limited for reducing atmospheres)

Typical applications:
- Phase analysis and quantitative Rietveld refinement
- Determination of crystallite size, microstrain, residual stress
- In-situ investigation of phase transitions, oxidation, crystallization, etc.
- SAXS measurements for analysis of nanoparticles and pore structures
- Broad range of sample types: powders, thin films, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, catalysts, and more
