Abstract

Digitized data acquisition and subsequent peak-profile fitting are used in aligning and maintaining the Guinier diffraction system in this laboratory. Utilization of a stepping motor driven goniometer along with profile analysis allows rapid and reproducible alignment while providing a means to investigate the types and magnitudes of errors introduced by various misalignments of the optical system.
