The PANalytical Empyrean is a precision powder diffractometer for characterizing the composition of polycrystalline and oriented materials. The Empyrean is equipped with a molybdenum X-ray source which enables transmission mode measurements, pair-distribution function analysis, and measurements on iron- and cobalt-rich samples.
