Design Characteristics
Boehler-Almax design Conical crown design offering superior mechanical stability.
Smaller anvil reducing beam absorption.
Tungsten carbide seat with large aperture for diffracted patterns and signal.
Used in the following DACs: Plate DAC, Braggs (Plus), Bragg Mini and HeliosDAC Plus.
Diacell design Force-fitted into anvil rings for mechanical stability, ease of replacement and cryogenic use.
Design and dimensions optimised using FEA for most Diacell® DACs
(μScopeDACs, LeverDACs, CryoDACs, OmniDACs, Braggs (Be seat), HeliosDAC).
Standard design Thick girdle and large table to withstand the hightest pressures.
All dimensions are exact and consistent.
Optimum mechanical strength.
Modified Brilliant Cut  Low cost alternative.
Variation from traditional round brilliant cut.
