High speed and excellent performance for a broad range of applications
The PILATUS 100K detector system is a versatile instrument which is very easy to handle and can be used for demanding X-ray applications.
It is based on the newly developed CMOS hybrid-pixel technology and operates in single-photon-counting mode. It excels with its compact size, high frame rate and the outstanding capabilities which are common to all DECTRIS detector systems.
The PILATUS 100K detector system is air-cooled and therefore very simple in its operation and handling. It is ready to use and comes as a complete system with detector, PC with Linux OS and the data acquisition and analysis software TVX.
Applications:
- Material science (MS)
- X-ray diffraction (XRD)
- Surface diffraction (SD)
- Small-angle scattering (SAXS)
- Time-resolved experiments
- X-ray imaging
- Nondestructive testing
