EIGER2 X - Discover the true potential of your beamline

The EIGER2 X detector series combines the advantages of the PILATUS3 retrigger functionality with the high spatial resolution of EIGER.

Our latest detector generation extends noise-free single-photon counting to unprecedented count rates. With the addition of two thresholds and the ability to gate single exposures, you can realize your most ambitious projects. EIGER2 X provides the detection technology for 4th generation synchrotron sources. Prepare your beamline for the future.
