Unique capability for particle sizing
- Xenocs-exclusive solution based on Expectation Maximization algorithm
- Parameter-free method to extract the size distribution of a particle
system - High performance and statistical uncertainties provided
Evaluation of specific surfaces
- Gets the characteristic surfaces (mass specific surface area, surface to volume ratio) of nano-objects
- Possible applications include nanoparticles in dispersions, dry powders, pores in granular media or interfaces in nanostructured solids
Evolution of scattering data in function of measurement parameter
- Study impact of external measurement parameter (temperature, stress…)
- Study impact of acquisition parameter (sample position, …)
- Quick data plot through header search tool
XSACT measurement data simulator
- Adjust the sample or instrument properties to simulate the scattering intensity
- Estimate the smearing effect due to the instrumental resolution
Publication quality figure presentation
XSACT is a time saver as it bundles all the tools to create publication-ready figures without the need for another visualization software.
For the best understanding of output data, a scientist must have the tools to visualize, exchange and compare numerous graphical representations.
By combining data processing with advanced visualization capabilities, XSACT speeds up your workflow from acquisition to publication.
- Highly customizable data visualization
- Easy export in multiple formats
- High quality with vector graphics
Advanced data processing
Xenocs instruments offer automatic 2D data reduction into a 1D scattering curve in quantitative units to facilitate the subsequent analysis. For samples requiring specific representation and study of 2D scattering data such as anisotropic samples or thin films studied in grazing incidence, XSACT represents the data in the reciprocal space with no information loss, and provides all the tools for quick orientation analysis and display.
- 2D image reduction towards scattering intensities in absolute units
- Q space representation of 2D data (transmission, GiSAXS, GiWAXS)
- Automatic scattering image stitching for multiple acquisition
