DECTRIS EIGER®2 Photon-Counting X-Ray Detectors

DECTRIS EIGER®2 photon-counting detectors feature an active detector area that can range in size from extremely small to very large, a small pixel size of 75 µm, and a high speed. These detectors enable researchers to fully utilize the rising beamline photon fluxes with their count-rate capability of 107 ph/s/pixel and DECTRIS Instant Retrigger® technology.

The most resilient detector for modern beamlines is EIGER2, which has excellent support, and optional vacuum capability, and is constantly being improved.

  • Fast: Continuous readout and an exceptionally high frame rate are provided by EIGER2 detectors
  • More and better data: The detectors have two energy-discriminating thresholds that can be adjusted; a substantial active area and a high-count rate. Neither readout noise nor dark current exists
  • Reliable: These detectors offer remarkably stable performance and radiation-resistant construction. Due to efficient industrial production and excellent customer service throughout the entire product’s lifetime, delivery terms are guaranteed

Techniques

X-Ray Diffraction

X-Ray Detectors for Synchrotrons-EIGER2

Image Credit: Dectris Ltd

Due to the high dynamic range of DECTRIS strip detectors, patterns with both light and strong reflections are easily handled.

Scattering

X-Ray Detectors for Synchrotrons-EIGER2
