Techniques

Counting every single photon or electron, DECTRIS direct detectors make data collection more accurate and reliable — and faster!

Working with X-rays

Diffraction

Patterns with both weak and intense reflections are no challenge for the high dynamic range of DECTRIS detectors.

Read more

Scattering

Scattering techniques, such as SAXS/WAXS, greatly benefit from our detectors’ fast frame rate and outstanding signal-to-noise ratio.

Read more

Imaging

DECTRIS detectors’ multiple thresholds enable spectral sensitivity for medical and industrial applications.

Read more

Spectroscopy

The combination of single-photon sensitivity with zero background noise enhances even the most advanced spectroscopic techniques.
