Abstract
A high temperature X-ray powder diffraction camera has been designed and fabricated with indigenous material. The camera design is similar to the Unicam model but overcomes some inconvenient features of the latter. The camera incorporates a miniheater which is inexpensive and easily replaceable. The camera enables determination of lattice parameters with an accuracy of ±0.0002 Å up to 800°C.
