Abstract

Described is an improved Gandolfi camera which overcomes the disadvantages of the adjustment procedure of the conventional instrument. The basic principle of the new construction is the introduction into a camera of a complete goniometer head as sample holder with two 45° rotation axes. Particular advantages of the modified Gandolfi camera are a simple and time saving centering technique as well as convenient combination possibilities of powder and single crystal investigations.
