Proto

Show season has officially begun, and we've been busy! Proto Scientific India is also exhibiting at QMF2F (Quantum Materials: Fundamentals to Functionalities) in Goa this week. We're excited to speak to you at our booth and learn about your x-ray work!

We're exhibiting at #ACSSpring2026 in Atlanta, GA from March 23–25! Visit booth 809 to meet the Proto team, tell us about your research, and learn more about our new x-ray crystallography and powder x-ray diffraction platforms. We look forward to connecting with you in Atlanta!

We’re excited to be exhibiting at TMS 2026! Visit us at booth 405 to learn more about our advanced x-ray characterization solutions. Exhibit hours are Monday, March 16 from 11 am to 6:30 pm, Tuesday 11 am to 6:30 pm, and Wednesday 10 am to 2 pm. #TMSAnnualMeeting #ProtoXRD

The bottom line in our #TipThursday series: Always pair technical training with a thorough review of the relevant literature. Focus on critical thinking and strive for ongoing education. Thank you for joining us as we shared these tips! What would you add? Let’s discuss. ⤵️

Swipe to see the sample hiding at the end of this cabinet 🤭 Why use one detector when you can have three? We can incorporate a customized detector turntable into your MetalJet system to suit your exact requirements. Learn more: hubs.la/Q03-qwZB0

#TipThursday tip 7: All XRD residual stress information shared should be properly reviewed by experts and disseminated through trusted sources. Get your information from papers that demonstrate clear documentation of sources and transparent methodology. hubs.la/Q03TWr6M0

We hope you all had a great holiday season! We're back in the office and excited to dive into 2026. If you reached out to us during our holiday shutdown, you can expect to get a response very shortly if you haven't already! Wishing you a healthy, happy new year ✨

It's #TipThursday! In residual stress measurement, errors can arise from multiple sources: random, systematic, and model-related errors. Consider the sum of these errors and refine your approach to reduce uncertainty and improve measurement accuracy. More: hubs.la/Q03TWpCs0

Whoops. Especially embarrassing when you were the last one to leave the day before and the first one to come in that morning... 😅 Happy #MemeMonday! #LabLife #XRD #Crystallography #ProtoXRD

Today’s #TipThursday wisdom: Be sure to select appropriate measurement parameters for the given material. Use the correct elastic constants, and if you don’t have that information, four-point bend or other methods may be used. Read the full article: hubs.la/Q03TWps30

It’s #TipThursday! When measuring residual stress, it's crucial to capture the RS distribution of the part, which means that both depth and surface measurements are necessary. Critical stress gradients may be missed if you focus solely on depth or surface. hubs.la/Q03TWprR0

#TipThursday: Carefully consider every step in your residual stress measurement process. You will likely start with determining the material’s composition and history. Next, you will select your setup and methodology. Are you making any assumptions? More: hubs.la/Q03TWcFD0

Our wonderful electronics team getting festive 🎄

It’s #TipThursday! Don’t rely on instrument manufacturers, professors, or even textbooks alone. Combine theoretical instruction with experiential learning to confidently perform residual stress measurements and get accurate results. Read the full article: hubs.la/Q03T4jZh0

Whether your work involves high-pressure XRD, phase-contrast imaging, or HEDM, we can design your ideal system. With ultra-bright MetalJet sources and our signature modular designs, our systems give you unprecedented results in a laboratory setting. hubs.la/Q03TzhV80

We’re launching a new series for #TipThursday! Tip 1: Invest in training from experts in the field, and pair it with careful reading of the existing literature for a solid foundation from which to collect data and interpret the results. Full article: hubs.la/Q03T3ClL0

The mScan XRF Benchtop is Proto’s compact mapping XRF system for rapid, non-destructive elemental analysis. It delivers reliable composition information and has flexible collection options, including single point, linear, and rectangular mapping. hubs.la/Q03Sr5jW0

Our expert team is happy to provide training packages and educational resources tailored to your applications and procedures. We offer guidance for any level of user experience, covering safety, setup, best practices, and more, so you get consistent, reliable results.

Made in house by Proto, the XRT 32 is a portable x-ray tube ideal for projects that require higher power in a compact size. With up to 30 kV and 300 Watts of power, the XRT 32 x-ray tube is a great choice for many x-ray applications such as diffraction. hubs.la/Q03RvFxB0

Proto was in Guilin, South China last week for the Chinese Crystallographic Society’s Biennial Conference! It was a great opportunity to share some of our innovative solutions for single-crystal diffraction with the crystallography community.
