Today we successfully measured our first single-crystal diffraction pattern on our new KOALA Quasi-Laue Diffractometer. The sample was a salt crystal, the same material as used by Wiliam and Lawrence Bragg in their first x-ray diffraction experiments almost a century ago. This brings the number of instruments at OPAL, with observations from a sample into the main detector, to five out of seven instruments.
