STL 3D print files for LED arc array holders for in-situ photocrystallography studies, designed to be mounted onto a 4-circle X-ray diffractometer to enable in-situ illumination of single-crystals at the same time as X-ray diffraction data is collected.

Examples of how to use this equipment to perform photocrystallography studies can be found in recently published research articles by the group including:

Files available:

  • 4x5mm_LED_clip.stl provides the geometry to mount 4 x 5 mm through-hole LEDs at a distance of approx. 1 cm away from the diffractometer sample position
  • 6x3mm_LED_clip.stl provides the geometry to mount 6 x 3 mm through-hole LEDs at a distance of approx. 1 cm away from the diffractometer sample position
  • LED_magnetic_cryo_clip.stl provides the geometry for the clips used to attach the LED holders to the liquid nitrogen flow device
