Empyrean is new universal powder diffraction platform from PANalytical. The platform is based on newly developed goniometer, new sample stages and cradles and on well known Medipix detector technology from CERN. The new Empyrean platform uses well known PIXcel detector in 2D mode. Due to the small pixel size, high dynamic range and high linearity of PIXcel detector, it is possible to setup also Computed Tomography and Radiography experiments on the Empyrean platform. This allows full 3D image of measured object to be reconstructed, as well as cross-sections and slicing. This talk will focus on 2D and 3D experiment setup and worked examples.
