Our professional crystallographers provide the service, train graduate students, operate undergraduate crystallography labs, and organize annual national workshops. Our users are academic scientists and engineers from McMaster and other Canadian and American universities, as well industry researchers.
Until recently, we have been operating Mo and Cu sealed tube and rotating anode single crystal instruments with CCD area detectors. We have now received funding to replace these two retired instruments with a modern dual source single crystal instrument(s).
