Modular goniometer set for high-resolution X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron radiation

A set of goniometer modules is described that allows easy assembling of the necessary optical layouts for experiments using synchrotron radiation. The technical parameters of the goniometers are given, and examples of setups assembled from the set elements are presented. Software drivers for the goniometers are described. Experimental results obtained with the use of an instrument based on the set are reported.
