Small angle X-ray ScatteringThe game-changing feature of the GANESHA is the uninhibited movement of the detector in 3 directions. In the direction of the beam, the detector moves unhindered a total of 1.4 m to allow Extreme SAXS in one instant and WAXS up to 2Θ=40° (q=2.8 Å-1) in the next. The transverse motions of the detector then additionally give the researcher the choice to work with the direct beam centered or off-center, allowing for scattering up to 2Θ=62° (q=4.2 Å-1).
