Specific solutions are based on DECTRIS’ standard hybrid photon counting technology platforms: PILATUS3, EIGER pixel detectors, and MYTHEN2 strip detectors. All X-ray detectors operate in single-photon counting mode and provide outstanding data quality. They feature very high dynamic range, zero dark signal, and no readout noise. This achieves optimal signal-to-noise ratios even for short readout times and high frame rates.
Large active areas with customer specific geometry are built of multiple identical modules using a modular system concept. Any of our X-ray detector platforms can become the foundation for your specific solution.
