| 1983 | LabXA founded by Helga Göbel (head, administration) and Dr. Herbert Göbel (technical support)First Customer: ESWL project group at University Clinic Munich |
| 1984 | Installation of first PC and DIFFRAC AT (Socabim) for evaluations |
| 1985 - 2000 | Continuous expansion of applications and methods development (informal cooperations with Siemens AG, Munich, and Bruker AXS): |
| • Improvements for transmission method in XRPD for Guinier and Debye-Scherrer optics | |
| • Heating stage and micro-reactor for capillary samples | |
| • Pioneering measurements for specular X-Ray Reflectometry (XRR) | |
| • First approaches to multilayer optics and -monochromators for XRD leading to the development of “Göbel-Mirrors” | |
| • Application of parallel-beam optics (Göbel-Mirrors and channel-cut Ge-crystals) to grazing incidence- and high-resolution diffractometer for thin films | |
| • General purpose- and universal wavelength diffractometer with a Planar Göbel-Mirror, metalwire PSPC and Eulerian cradle | |
| • Expansion to four dedicated and highly effective diffraction stations | |
| 2000 | Installation of a Total-Reflection Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer (TXRF) and upgrade with a Göbel-Mirror for Mo-Kα-radiation |
| 2000 | Expansion of the facility by duplicating the laboratory / office space |
| 2004 | Ulrike Hermeking-Göbel becomes new head of LabXA |
| 2005 | Dr. Ulrike Hermeking-Göbel finishes PhD-thesis at Technical University Vienna on Metal Matrix Composites |
| 2005 | Diffractometer #5 for stress- and texture analysis with Si(Li)-detector installed |
