Date: 14 Nov. 2024 Venue: Room G29-G30, New Horizons, 20 Research Way, Clayton, VIC 3168
The Australian X-ray Analytical Association (AXAA) and Monash X-ray Platform (MXP) are pleased to be hosting a joint event, the AXAA & MXP Victorian X-ray Symposium. This is an in-person symposium at room G29/G30 on the ground floor in the New Horizons building at Monash University, 20 Research Way, Clayton.
AXAA invites students and ECRs from all institutions and levels (undergraduates, Honours, Masters, PhD, postdocs), from all disciplines, to present results where any X-ray or neutron technique has been used to support your research. Present in a very friendly environment and go into the running to win prizes!
The symposium will provide a unique opportunity for researchers who have accessed MXP facilities to showcase their research and outcomes. It is also an opportunity for prospective users to hear about the wide range of techniques and capabilities at MXP, which comprises a suite of diffractometers and SAXS instruments, as well as a surface chemical analysis instrument (XPS, UPS, ISS, REELS and X-ray Mapping). MXP has been evolving rapidly in the last several years with the introduction of high-end versatile instruments, such as the NanoSTAR SAXS machine and the HRXRD Rigaku SmartLab diffractometer. MXP continues its expedition with new techniques, such as the X-ray CT instrument that will be housed in our new lab space. There will be more news at the upcoming symposium!
The Victorian X-ray Symposium is proudly sponsored by AXT, Australia’s leading supplier of high technology scientific equipment for sample preparation and analysis for academic and industrial applications, and Australian representatives for Rigaku, TESCAN and many other leading brands.
In addition to invited speaker and student talks and posters, this event will include:
The 2024 AXAA AGM (streamed online)
A celebration event of the Launch of the Rigaku SmartLab – a state-of-art, versatile, 9 kW rotating anode high flux, high resolution, diffractometer. This is the first such diffractometer equipped with Johansson monochromator in Australia
A round table discussion with researchers from a wide research community for the future MXP technique/capability planning
The exclusive sponsor for VXS2024
AXT - Analytical X-ray Equipment
AXT is your source for analytical X-ray equipment in Australia and New Zealand. We represent over 50 suppliers including Rigaku and TESCAN. AXT have local sales and service capabilities and keep stock of a range of spare parts to best support you throughout your entire ownership experience..\
Rigaku
Rigaku are the world’s leading supplier of analytical X-ray equipment with systems to suit almost any application and budget, as well as a portfolio of patents that attest to their commitment to innovation. Their X-ray portfolio of products covers XRD (powder, thin-film, single crystal and electron diffraction), XRF, X-ray imaging (microCT), radiographic testing (NDT) and residual stress analysis
The Rigkau SmartLab continues to be the most desirable XRD. Configured with options like rotating anode X-ray source (9kW), HyPix HPC detector, in-plane arm for thin film measurements and the widest variety of attachments, the Rigaku SmartLab is the most powerful and versatile diffractometer on the market. It also offers unmatched usability via the user-friendly Guidance interface. This makes it the ultimate choice for research labs, especially those catering to multi-user audiences and those needing to deal with unforeseen developments in the future.
They also recently introduced the XtaLAB Synergy-ED, the world’s first turnkey electron diffractometer (ED), that takes crystallographers beyond the limits of X-rays, allowing you to elucidate the structures of nanocrystals. Powered by CrysAlispro, users of Rigaku’s single crystal XRDs will feel immediately at home and be able to use the system with minimal training.
TESCAN
Perhaps best known for their FIBs and SEMs, TESCAN designs and manufactures scientific instruments. Included in their portfolio are a range of microCT (Computed Tomography) systems.
TESCAN’s microCTs are characterised by their fast temporal resolutions makes them unique in that they can perform true 4D scanning where others can only manage time-lapse scanning. This is ideal for monitoring materials under dynamic conditions and loads where you won’t miss an event.
The TESCAN DynaTOM has a unique architecture with gantry mounted X-ray source and detector that allow you to keep the sample/experimental rig stationary. This is an ideal configuration for running in situ experiments.
