Hello everyone! I need to connect a Harrick Praying Mantis to my FTIR Vertex 80v on my own. The installation itself was pretty straightforward using the video and the manual, but I couldn’t figure out the OPUS setup by myself. Has anyone dealt with this before? I’d really appreciate any advice or help. I’m using OPUS version 7 (2012).
Good afternoon!
I use the Profex-XRD to interpret diffraction patterns of the clay minerals. We recently got a new Bruker D2 Phaser with copper radiation, and to properly measure low angles on it, I use a 0.6 mm primary beam slit and a 0.5 mm knife . However, the instrument configuration I created in Profex does not allow for an adequate refinement model.
The simulated intensities of all peaks, especially those of the clay minerals and calcite, are underestimated up to about 30° 2θ. In the 30–45° range, everything is fine, but after 45° the model systematically overestimates the intensities.
Could you please tell me whether anyone has encountered this problem and how it can be solved?
