Beautifully resolved 1000 Å cell axis: Diffraction image from MX300 at GMCA CAT, APS
LX-HS series
Overview

In order to allow SAXS to pass through while measuring WAXS, scientists have been asking for an X-ray detector with a hole in the middle. The resulting LX series has a long, rectangular detecting surface, engineered with a notch to allow the direct beam and SAXS data to pass through. Designed with the new, exclusive Rayonix chip utilizing Frame Transfer Technology.

Two modules of high speed frame-transfer CCDs bonded to fiber-optic tapers, fused at the front to eliminate gaps in the imaging area. The imaging area is 85 x 170mm² in size, with a special notch at the long edge to allow SAXS data (and the direct beam) to pass, while WAXS data is collected.
