X-Ray diffraction studies of substances under controlled atmospheres and at different temperatures are of great importance in many research areas. This is especially true in the area of catalysis, where the correlation of structural and catalytic properties is needed. The camera described here was made for this purpose although any sample in the powdered form can be studied as well. Many catalysts are in the form of highly dispersed metal deposited on a granulated support. The content of metal may vary from a few tenths to several percent. In a camera used by Janko and Borodzinski a small amount of catalyst was spread out on a porous silica glass sample holder which then was placed in a high temperature XRD camera with flowing gas of controlled composition.
