                            Image Plate Systems

Image plate technology provides large-size area detectors for the collection of
X-ray diffraction data with demonstrated excellent performance in the rapid 
acquisition of high-resolution information.  Enraf-Nonius' offered systems
feature the highly advantageous spiral readout methodology and a dual plate
implementation which approaches a 100% duty cycle. Several models are available
for integration with a wide range of X-ray sources and computer systems.  All
models include a graphite monochromator but may be ordered with focussing
mirrors. The sample to detector distance can be set over the range of 35 - 250
mm.  A scintillation counter for X-ray beam alignment is included and a sample
orienting microscope is provided.  An intelligent microprocessor controls
instrument functions from host commands. Both oscillation-photo and
pseudo-Weissenberg techniques are supported.

DIP systems are provided with a hardware interface for either a Sun or Silicon
Graphics computer system.  Software control of all data-collection procedures
with the systems' hardware are supported. The MAC-DENZO suite of programs for
reflection search, auto-index, refinement, data reduction, scaling and merging
is provided.
