Data reduction software The "BerSAS" data reduction software package has been developed by Dr. Uwe Keiderling, and is constantly being expanded to offer new options and data treatment tools. It contains a set of programs for automated two-dimensional and one-dimensional reduction of large amounts of data files, and a set of graphical tools for data analysis, documentation, and publication.
Customized Sample Chamber Vacuum up to 0.02 mbar
