CRISTAL-ITE: a single-crystal X-ray diffractometer scale model for scientific dissemination

This article presents the design and manufacture of an automated scale model a four-circle single-crystal X-ray diffractometer that can be used for scientific dissemination. The purpose this device is to reach out wider public students introduce them in entertaining way one laboratory apparatuses which they do not usually have access, talk about crystallography broadest sense, develop concepts various fields science technology, initiate interest discussions. main technical aspects project are described, with expectation such approach could useful anyone involved dissemination developed other equipment disciplines. kind also subject technological projects close collaboration educational institutions.
