BL2-1 is a dedicated powder and thin film diffraction station. It is equipped with Huber 2-circle goniometer, a high-resolution crystal-anlyzer detector, and several different types of sample stages, including a motorized xyz state, a "wet" liquid sample stage and a cryostat (temperature range 4 K - 350 K). Analysis software provided include Origin (from Microcal), GSAS (Rietveld analysis), and a searchable powder diffraction database. The main user communities are materials science, environmental science and archaeometry.
