Laue Single Crystal
Orientation System
Single crystal materials are playing an important role in novel devices, from non-linear optics to jet engine turbine blades and super conducting materials.
A high-resolution Crystal Orientation System is the ideal tool to capture and analyze the Laue diffraction pattern from a wide range of crystalline materials. With dedicated software, the orientation of single crystals can be measured quickly with excellent accuracy.

VERTICAL LAUE SYSTEM
The most flexible configuration, the PSEL vertical Laue system uses a vertical beam path for high throughput scanning of multiple crystals in isolation or multiple areas of interest. Using gravity, samples do not need to be adhered to the platform, allowing for easier mounting, and orienting of crystals.
The vertical beam path takes up less space within the cabinet leaving more room for the addition of alternate inspection modalities or other modality optics, and increased tilt and rotation range for the goniometer to operate; while a <450um beam size accommodates both sub-millimetric range samples and larger components like turbine alloys.
HORIZONTAL LAUE SYSTEM
Traditional configuration, the PSEL horizontal Laue System provides a unique solution to orient the crystal for cutting or quickly scanning the crystal to identify reflections. Manual or automated goniometers and XYZ Stage options are available to best suit your experimental needs.
GRAIN MAP
Available with the Vertical configuration, Grain map features a special camera, lens, illumination, and mapping software used to measure the orientation of each grain.
