Since its inception in 1951, Rigaku has been at the forefront of analytical and industrial instrumentation technology in the fields of general X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry etc. In addition to supplying analysis devices, we also provide training on how to use these instruments and master the analytical technique. We will be providing user training via the internet from this point forward.

　Users can study anywhere and at any time using an internet browser on a PC. A training course consists of easy-to-follow slides, narrations, voice texts and quizzes that the user can study thoroughly. Furthermore, users can repeat the training course throughout the contract period.

Training courses provide principles of measurement at a basic level.They are recommended for customers who are not familiar with the measurement technique. These include

English and Japanese versions, including slides and narration, are provided for basic and applied courses of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD).
