The Denver X-ray Conference (DXC) is the world’s leading forum for scientists working in the field of X-ray materials analysis. DXC provides a unique mixture of sessions and workshops on training, education, and applications and papers containing details about state-of-the-art techniques and future developments in X-ray analysis. Another important part of the meeting is the presence of leading manufacturers of X-ray equipment who exhibit their most recent equipment and have their technical people available to offer their suggestions on how one might use their equipment to solve problems.
