Miniature diamond anvils for X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy HP experiments

Miniature Boehler-Almax diamond anvils for inelastic scattering method that uses hard X-rays of the order of 10 keV to measure energy-loss spectra at absorption edges of light elements (Si, Mg, O etc.) with an energy resolution below 1 eV to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio  of this XRS technique.

Diameters down to 1.00 mm and thicknesses down to 0.50 mm which allow pressure generation up to 70 GPa.
