Compact footprint. Proven performance. Designed for precise crystal orientation.

Hastings, United Kingdom — February 17, 2026 — Photonic Science and Engineering (“Photonic Science”), trusted experts in the design and manufacture of imaging solutions, is proud to announce the launch of Laue-LT, the newest system in their market-leading Laue crystal orientation portfolio. Building on the proven performance of the flagship Laue system, Laue-LT delivers reliable, high-quality crystal diffraction in a more compact and simplified platform, designed to meet the needs of research laboratories and industrial users where high throughput is not a requirement.

Laue-LT expands the Photonic Science Laue family by offering a streamlined solution for budget-friendly users who require dependable crystal orientation capabilities while optimising laboratory space and workflow efficiency. With a reduced footprint and simplified configuration, Laue-LT is ideally suited for applications where precision, ease of use, and integration into existing environments are critical.

“Laue-LT represents the next step in our Laue system evolution,” said Dr. Peter Mills, Laue Product Manager at Photonic Science. “We designed Laue-LT to maintain the core performance and reliability we are known for, while providing a more compact, user-friendly option for customers who may not require the full feature set of our larger systems.”

Like all Photonic Science Laue systems, Laue-LT is powered by their market-leading Laue crystal orientation software, delivering fast, reliable solutions from random crystal orientations and supporting a wide range of materials research applications. The system is engineered for consistent performance, with a sealed X-ray source, forced-air cooling, and a single-mains power connection to simplify installation and operation.

Key highlights of Laue-LT include:

• Compact cabinet design optimized for space-constrained areas
• Plug-and-Play operation for rapid installation and immediate use
• Proven Laue diffraction performance with crystal orientation down to 0.2° accuracy
• Manual stage, goniometer, and sample clamping plate
• Automatic misorientation of angular data
• Flexible detector exposure and pixel binning options
• Installation and comprehensive user training and application support

With the introduction of Laue-LT, Photonic Science now offers a broader Laue portfolio that allows customers to select the system best aligned with their application requirements, throughput needs, footprint, and budget.
