Dear SAS Reseacher, Please help us understand how the SAS community would receive a new high intensity SAXS/WAXS instrument, which is presently undergoing prototype testing. Please do so by answering the brief questionnaire below and e-mailing it to Dr. Karsten Joensen, at joensen@osmic.com. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE, AS THE RESULTS WILL NOT GO TO DR. JOENSEN. We sincerely appreciate your effort and hope in the future to be able to provide you with improved instrumentation for and SAXS and SAXS/WAXS. Sincerely Karsten Dan Joensen www.osmic.com Application Specialist P.S. I would be happy to questions any questions or considerations that you may have regarding this e-mail, the survey, the instrument, or Osmic ability to provide other instrumentation. ------------------------------------- Questionaire Introduction The novel instrument conceopt is based on an application of the tried and tested Guinier geometry. By using specially designed multilayer monochromatizing optics, a novel aperture approach, and state-of-the-art image plate technology, initial tests show that up to 20-40 times the intensity of existing SAXS/WAXS instrumentation can be achieved with no loss of resolution. Hopefully, your sincere answers to the following questions will allow us to evaluate how interesting such an instrument is to the SAXS community at large. Feel free to disregard any question you do not want to answer. Additional comments are very welcome. Question 1: Do you have SAXS instrumentation in your organization? If so, which types (please indicate which and how many) Commercial 2-dimensional Camera Home-built 2-dimensional Camera Commercial Kratky Camera with PSD detector Commercial Kratky Camera without PSD detector Homebuilt Kratky Camera Commercial Bonse-Hart Camera Homebuilt Bonse-Hart Camera Other Question 2 The new instrument provides one-dimensional data (much like that of a Kratky Camera with 20-40 times more intensity at the same resolution). Do you believe your organization would be interested in purchasing such an instrument? Question 3 Given a choice between a 2-dimensional SAXS instrument and this new instrument (probably costing 50% of a commercial SAXS system) which would your organization be most likely to buy? Question 4 Does the fact that "New and much improved" data-analysis software has been written to analyze the one-dimensional data" make a difference in your answer to question 2 and 3? Question 5 Would you be interested in receiving more detailed material on the instrument, when such material becomes available? ------end of mail for list server---- ----------------------------------------------------------- Osmic Inc.
