The PheniX is a unique closed cycle helium cryostat specifically designed for powder diffraction at very low temperatures. The PheniX is designed to be mounted onto a vertical goniometer and can be supplied with mounting plates for various powder systems.

The design of the PheniX means it is very easy to set-up and facilitates accessibility to the sample stage. For further information on integration of the PheniX with your powder diffractometer, we recommend you speak to the relevant manufacturer or contact us for further details.
