Abstract
Instrumentation for X-Ray diffraction studies of phase behaviour of polymers and liquid crystals is reviewed. Sample environment cells and the choice of cameras and detectors are discussed. In addition, selected examples are briefly described, particularly of polymer investigations using the simultaneous diffraction/calorimetry (XDDSC) technique.
