Abstract
A high-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction camera has been constructed by modifying an infrared thermal-image furnace. High temperatures (∼1700°C) can be readily attained by focussing radiation from a halogen lamp on a single crystal with a gold-plated internal ellipsoidal reflector. This camera has been used for examining the phase transformation and melting of orthopyroxene and proved to be useful for the study of the phase changes and the structure states of the produced phases in single crystals at high temperatures.
