Short Description:

Micromax 007HF is a microfocus rotating anode X-ray generator producing Cu-Ka radiation (1.5418 Å). The system is equipped with VariMax UHF focusing mirrors, cryosystems for routine data collection at 100K and two detectors, a high-sensitivity CCD detector (Saturn 944+) and an imaging plate systems (mar345dtb).
