Building an X-Ray Crystallography Machine.
X-ray crystallography, like mass spectroscopy and nuclear spectroscopy, is an extremely useful material characterization technique that is unfortunately hard for amateurs to perform. The physical operation isnโt too complicated, however, and as [Farben-X] shows, itโs entirely possible to build an X-ray diffractometer if youโre willing to deal with high voltages, ancient X-ray tubes and soft X-rays.
