A device to convert a Debye–Scherrer powder camera into a Gandolfi camera has been designed and constructed. It is attached to the existing Debye–Scherrer rotating specimen stage rendering conversion from Debye–Scherrer to Gandolfi diffraction mode (and vice versa ) a very simple matter. Examples of its use in forensic science are also mentioned.
