The PILATUS3 X 1M offers a large sensor area of 169 by 179 millimeters for X-ray high-energy X-ray diffraction, diffuse scattering, powder diffraction and pair-distribution function analysis. A readout time of 0.95 ms and frame rates up to 500 Hz empower time-resolved and in situ experiments, free of any image lag. Noise-free single-photon counting in conjunction with a 20-bit counter and direct conversion allows weak signals next to strong peaks to be measured with best possible signal-to-noise ratio.
