This instrument consists of 2 kW copper target and theta-theta goniometer.  The sample holder remains horizontal during the scan and therefore, there is no need to use adhesive substances to mount samples on to a low background sample holder plate.  Similar to D/max-B, Rigaku Multiflex is also configured in focusing geometry where a secondary monochromator removes the scattered signal except that corresponding to Cu Kalpha wavelength.  Pre-aligned sample holder and friendly operating software makes the powder diffraction experiments very easy with this instrument.
