Structure determination from laboratory powder diffraction data can be considered routine today as emphasized by the significant increase in the number of published structures, both organic and/or inorganic compounds solved in this way. In the past about 10 years, many significant developments in instrumentation, such as computer technology and powder diffraction methodology, allow determination of crystal structures, the size and complexity of which are only limited by data quality and computing power. New detector technologies (mostly strip detectors), faster PCs and powerful methods of structure solution (especially the direct space and the charge flipping methods) contributed most to an ever increasing success rate. Also monochromater for incident beam (like CuKα1 or MoKα1) is not always required for structure determination.
