The Eulerian cradles of the series 500 can be combined with the goniometers of the series 400 to create multi-circle diffractometers. These can be used for analytical investigations in the fields of X-ray and neutron diffraction.

The Eulerian cradle is a full-circle cradle with an assymetrical design. The Phi- and Chi-circle planes are at right angles to one another.

The motor and signal currents are transmitted via slip rings. This enables an unrestricted rotation around both axes.

A manual Z-adjustment 5104.A05 is integrated in the Phi-circle, enabling the mounting of goniometer heads of the series 1000.

For sample adjustment an optical microscope or an optional CCD-camera is integrated (see Accessories MiniVD).

Both circles are equipped with zero-point controls and step motors. A range of different motor types and specifications is available according to customer requirements.

It is possible to equip the Eulerian cradle with a cryostat mount and/or counter bearings for mounting individually required equipment.
