Abstract

A rugged and versatile counter adaptor for a Weissenberg camera is described. It has performed well in two years of daily use which has included collection of intensity vs. temperature data with conventional cold-stream techniques.

Advantage has recently been taken of the adaptor design to mount, directly on the Weissenberg base, a furnace device which blows hot air along the crystal mounting axis. Crystal temperature may be held constant or easily varied over the range up to about 700°C, with no obstruction of the X-ray beams and no readjustment of the furnace position, while the entire zero layer and close-in upper layers are explored.
