Abstract

The V1 Membrane Diffractometer is dedicated for biological samples or other samples with large unit cells (5 -10 nm in cell length). Its main application is the investigation of biological and synthetic membranes,. For these studies, dedicated sample environment is available, including the new BerILL humidity chamber with a continuous range in relative humidity (RH) from 10 % RH to 100 % RH.
