MX-HS series
Overview

The MX-HS series from Rayonix incorporates the new, exclusive HS frame-transfer technology for high speed X-ray data collection without compromising resolution or data quality. The result is a new type of high speed and ultra-low noise area detector that delivers the highest performance available for X-ray diffraction applications.

The Rayonix MX-HS detectors are ideal for taking advantage of high brilliance synchrotron sources, or for any other high frame rate application. Examples include: high throughput protein crystallography, Laue diffraction, time-resolved or static small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), powder diffraction, X-ray computed tomography (CT), X-ray imaging, and coherent diffraction imaging (CDI). With no count rate limitation, these detectors are also ideal for XFEL applications.

Technical Highlights

Available are various configurations of FOT (fiber-optic taper) coupled modules.

The detectors in the MX-HS series use 2 × 2, 3 × 3, 4 × 4, or 5 × 5 arrays of fused fiber-optic taper elements to make a very large active area. Unlike other multi-element detectors, the images produced have no gaps between the modules. The Rayonix factory calibration is permanent and suitable for all X-ray sources.

A versatile, fast detector for a wide range of demanding scientific applications. Consists of a 2 x 2 tiled array of frame-transfer CCD modules, with 170 x 170mm² square active area, without gaps in the imaging area. Full resolution is 3840 x 3840 pixels.
