Does an autonomous lab need a large footprint?

At the Denver X-ray Conference, we demonstrated robotic sample handling in a 10 × 10-foot booth. The concept showcased how a compact robotic system can transfer samples between instruments as part of an integrated workflow.

Although the instruments in the display were paper mockups, the demonstration illustrated that robotic sample handling does not necessarily require significant additional space. In some cases, a compact XRD and XRF setup combined with a single robot could fit into a surprisingly small footprint.

Five years ago, the XtaLAB Synergy ED was introduced as a dedicated electron diffractometer designed to simplify electron diffraction workflows.

Since then, we've continued to expand its capabilities based on what researchers need most in the lab. Recent advancements include:

• An EDS detector option for elemental analysis at the grain level after diffraction experiments
• Automation tools such as particle queuing for multi-grain data collection
• Automatic Z-height centering using image recognition to keep samples aligned during measurement
• Support for a range of sample holders, including room temperature, cryogenic, and air-free cryo-cooled configurations

It's exciting to look back at how far the platform has come over the past five years and to see the innovations that have helped make electron diffraction more accessible and efficient for researchers.

Watch the video for a quick look at the progress so far.

What changes when researchers can understand their materials earlier in the discovery process?

In our latest customer spotlight, Prof. Omar Farha and the team at Northwestern University Department of Chemistry share how MicroED is helping them work with challenging samples, evaluate results sooner, and make more informed research decisions.

Thank you to Omar Farha, Chris Malliakas, Haley Wellman, and Julian Brennan-Magdalenski for sharing their experience and insights.

What does it take to uncover the true identity of a new material?

For Northwestern University Department of Chemistry researcher Haley Wellman, it starts with preparing powdered samples for PXRD analysis. After washing and centrifuging the samples, PXRD provides one of the first opportunities to see exactly what was created, revealing a unique fingerprint that helps researchers understand a material's composition and properties.

Every discovery begins with asking the right questions and following the evidence. Check out the full testimonial in the comments.

When technology becomes easier to use, it can change the pace of an entire research program.

In this clip from our customer spotlight with Northwestern University, Prof. Omar K. Farha and Dr. Christos D. Malliakas discuss what dedicated access to MicroED means for both researchers and facility managers. From streamlined workflows to faster structure collection, they share how dedicated access has helped support more efficient workflows and increased throughput.

Thank you to Northwestern University and the team for sharing their experience and perspectives.

How confident are you in what’s happening inside your medical devices before they reach the field?

Join us for a live webinar on Wednesday, April 29 at 1:00 PM CDT for a practical look at how X-ray computed tomography is used to inspect medical devices and healthcare products without destructive testing.

This session will explore how X-ray CT can reveal internal structures and defects that are often missed by traditional inspection methods. You’ll see real-world examples including detection of molding defects, inspection of porous and mixed‑material components, and how 3D internal data can support development, failure analysis, and quality control workflows.

Featuring Angela Criswell, with Ted Huang as co-presenter, and hosted by Katelynn Stuchlik.

If you work with medical devices, injection-molded parts, or complex assemblies and want greater confidence in your inspection decisions, this webinar is for you.

More details and the link to learn more are in the comments.
