 1. Overview
Rigaku proposes to provide a complete single crystal x-ray diffraction system for small molecule data collection and structural
determination. This device can generate high-intensity X-rays (31kW/mm2) by the combination with the confocal mirror., a
Rigaku partial- , 3-axis goniometer, a curved image plate area detector, and all the accessories and peripherals required to fully
integrate the system.

Features
(1) High brightness x-ray generator
The RA-Micro 7HFM tabletop rotating anode X-ray generator achieving 31 kW/mm2 brilliance.
(2) Oscillation photograph method
The blind area can be greatly decreased by measuring the oscillation photograph in the vicinity of =50°.
(3) Large measurement range
460 mm x 256 mm curved imaging plate: In a one image capture the angular range of 2-theta 
is -60 to 144 degrees
(tangential direction) providing coverage of 204 degrees.
(4) High speed data reading
Installing IP is one piece. To shorten duty time, the high-speed reading method is adopted. ( 1.5 times compared with
conventional ratio)
(5) It corresponds to three readout modes
It corresponds to three modes of 100×100 μm, 100×150 μm and 200×200 μm. As for 200×200 μm mode,
high-speed readout is possible (26sec/ 1frame). A small sample of the lattice can greatly shorten the measurement
time by using 200×200 μm mode.
(6) Large dynamic range and low level noise.
Device is compliant with a linear dynamic range of 1 x 106. A dual PMT system gives the Rigaku R-AXIS
RAPID II the largest dynamic range available of any detector. A noise level of <1 X-ray photon/ADU with a
sensitivity of 1 X-ray photon/pixel (CuK ) ensures that reflections will be accurately measured and weak reflections
will have the best possible S/N.
(7) Automatic measurement and data analysis
All processes from the measurement to data processing were automated.
(8) Two absorption correction methods
The absorption correction by empirical method or numerical method is possible.
(9) The target corresponding dual wavelength
The target material can be easily changed without leak of the vacuum.
(10) The mirror corresponding dual wavelength
The mirror can be easily switched by using the rotational mechanism.
