Elevated Temperature XRD Instrument Suppliers

Following the Industrial Group elevated temperature X-Ray Diffraction workshop in June 97, it was suggested to me that a list of the various suppliers mentioned in my survey of commercial equipment might be useful. Here is the list, slightly updated since it appeared in the Industria l Group Newsletter. No doubt there are still omissions and errors. I apologise if that is the case and would welcome corrections and additions.
