Designed for your needs in the laboratory, DECTRIS PILATUS3® R single-photon-counting X-ray detectors offer synchrotron-proven technology at an extremely high value. These noise-free, 172-µm-pixel detectors operate at a count rate of up to 107 ph/s/pixel and deliver superior-quality data in a shorter time, even when dealing with high-intensity signals. Additionally, the absence of readout noise and dark current is of a particular advantage when collecting data from weak signals with longer exposure times.
- Easy to operate: these detectors feature simplified readout electronics for smoother integration and are operational at room temperature.
- Versatile: the detectors come in many sizes and geometries, with different sensor materials and optional vacuum compatibility.
- Reliable: detector performance is always stable. Delivery terms are guaranteed, thanks to streamlined industrial production and top-notch support.
