015 – At the Denver X-ray Conference 2015, DECTRIS introduces two new detectors of the PILATUS3 R and X product lines replacing the successful PILATUS 100K. The PILATUS3 R 100K-A is an ideal detector for laboratory instruments, whereas the PILATUS3 X 100K-A provides ultimate performance for the most demanding synchrotron applications.
PILATUS3 R 100K-A
The PILATUS3 R 100K-A is DECTRIS– most economical 2D detector. It delivers all advantages of Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) technology in an easy-to-use, service- and maintenance-free detector system. A large, continuous active area of 84 by 34 millimeters and a maximum frame rate of 20 Hz allow for fast and accurate measurements of XRD data. The radiation-hard design of PILATUS3 has proven its robustness at many synchrotron beamlines. It can easily withstand the radiation exposure in laboratory instruments, providing a highly reliable detector. Air-cooled and fully media-free, the PILATUS3 R 100K-A is the most easy-to-operate PILATUS detector yet.
“The PILATUS3 family of detectors features unrivaled count rate performance with the capability to detect more than 4 million counts per second and pixel at 8 keV. This ensures accurate data even when measuring strongly diffracting samples with the brightest laboratory sources. The new PILATUS3 100K-A is the perfect detector to make this advantage available for laboratory XRD measurements,” states Marcus Müller, Product Manager Laboratory and Industry at DECTRIS.
PILATUS3 X 100K-A
The PILATUS3 X 100K-A offers the advantage of substantially higher performance than its predecessor, the venerable PILATUS 100K. The major improvements are a maximum frame rate of 500 Hz, a readout time of 0.95 ms and count rates of more than 10 million counts per second and pixel thanks to DECTRIS Instant Retrigger. Like its laboratory counterpart in the PILATUS3 R series, it is fully media-free and easy to operate.
“The PILATUS 100K is a versatile and popular HPC detector, sold more than 370 times since 2006. At DECTRIS we are pleased to offer now the PILATUS3 X 100K A that features not only higher performance, but is also easier to operate and more economical than its predecessor,” says Stefan Brandstetter, Product Manager Synchrotron at DECTRIS.
As the technology leader in X-ray detection, DECTRIS aims to continuously improve measurement quality to enable new findings and innovative results in science and industry. DECTRIS X-ray detectors make optimum use of the company–s pioneering hybrid photon counting (HPC) technology. It has transformed basic research at synchrotron light sources, as well as in laboratory and industrial X-ray applications worldwide.
