With the Empyrean, Malvern Panalytical has set the new standard in developing the ultimate X-ray platform for the analysis of powders, thin films, nanomaterials and solid objects.
It is Malvern Panalytical’s answer to the challenges of modern materials research, where the lifetime of an instrument is considerably longer than the horizon of any research project.
Empyrean is a true multi-purpose research X-ray platform. Like no other system available, the Empyrean is designed for now, and for years to come.
Empyrean Alpha 1

Empyrean Alpha-1 is configured with a unique symmetric Ge monochromator (Johansson type) giving perfect Cu or Co Kα1-only Bragg-Brentano reflection geometry data for structure determination, with unrivaled resolution, excellent peak symmetry, and ultra-low backgrounds.
Thanks to the PreFIX concept on the tube housing, users can easily swap between Kα1-only configuration to Kα1,2 in a matter of minutes.
Empyrean Nano Edition

The Empyrean Nano edition is a hybrid laboratory X-ray scattering instrument. It uniquely enables for a variety of techniques for the structural characterization of (nano)materials on multiple length scales.
Main applications:
Several other applications, such as powder diffraction, thin film analysis and CT can be added – also as later upgrades.
The high performance and flexibility of the instrument are driven by a high-resolution goniometer platform, a modular concept and latest detector technology.
