2 Introduction
ARL EQUINOX X-Ray diffractometers are designed for measuring of crystalline samples
(powder, bulk, metals, thin layers, etc...), phase identification, nanoscale structural analysis,
non-destructive quality control, as well as for many other applications.
Thermo Fisher Scientific develops and sells many sample holders that can be plugged in
Thermo Fisher Scientific diffractometers in order to analyze the samples. The sample holders
sometimes consist of moving parts and electronics which are needed for more complex
devices to control sample's movement.
All ARL EQUINOX instruments are shipped with a basic non-spinning sample holder suited for
powder measurement in reflection mode. This sample holder is necessary for adjustment and
alignment and can be used for measurement of samples as well.
This instrument is intended for professionals. The user is advised to read the following
instructions and any other additional information supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific before
operating the instrument.
Thermo Fisher Scientific declines all responsibilities for improper use by unauthorized
personnel or non-authorized operation of the instrument.
For any additional information, contact Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Supplied Items
Before the shipment, the sample holders are tested and packed carefully. However damage
can occur during the transport.
If the sample holder or any additional supplied item has been damaged during transport, or
if you notice any signs of a possible damage, please contact both the transport company
representative and the Thermo Fisher Scientific representative as soon as possible.
Furthermore, if you notice that any part is missing or you have any questions about
the delivered items, contact the Thermo Fisher Scientific representative.
Storage
The storage where the instrument is stored has to meet following ambient specifications:
Temperature: 0 –50°C, relative humidity: < 95% (without condensation).
Assistance
The Thermo Fisher Scientific worldwide technical support network consists of highly trained
field service engineers, technical support specialists and service coordinators who are ready
to quickly assist the customers with answers and solutions to service needs and application
questions. If you need any help, please contact the local Thermo Fisher Scientific
representative.
