Overview
IPAnalyzer performs image analysis on 2D diffraction patterns obtained with imaging plates (IP) or CCD/CMOS cameras (Debye-Scherrer transmission optics) and converts them to one-dimensional X-ray diffraction profiles.
It supports most image formats currently in circulation (Rigaku R-Axis IV/V, Fuji BAS 2000/2500/FDL, BruckerCCD, ITEX, Rayonix SX, MAR research, Digital micrograph 3/4, Ryonix, Perkin Elmer, RadIcon, ADSC, etc.). It also has a feature to semi-automatically determine parameters such as X-ray wavelength, camera length, and IP tilt in synchrotron facilities.
The one-dimensionalized diffraction pattern can be sent to PDIndexer via the clipboard. Using them together greatly improves the efficiency of analysis.
