The right window for your beam
All our windows are good electrical conductors. They are available in several materials and thicknesses, depending on your wavelength and sample.
- Electrically conductiveSome operando cells use Kapton or glass windows, which do not conduct electricity and can alter the electrochemistry. Ours all do.
- BerylliumExcellent X-ray transmission, ideal for most operando diffraction setups, including laboratory diffractometers with a copper tube.
- AluminiumA cost-effective, robust alternative for shorter wavelengths: molybdenum radiation or synchrotron.
- Glassy carbonWell suited to measurements requiring low background scattering, at shorter wavelengths: molybdenum radiation or synchrotron.
Holders & spare kits
Mount your cell on your instrument and keep consumables at hand.
