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

SX30-HS and SX85-HS: The new, exclusive Rayonix frame-transfer technology in single-module X-ray detectors. The result is a new type of high speed and ultra-low noise X-ray detector, delivering the highest performance detector available for X-ray diffraction and X-ray imaging applications, without compromising resolution or data quality.

The Rayonix SX-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.

Single frame-transfer CCD bonded to fiber-optic glass without taper (1:1 taper ratio), resulting in a very fast X-ray detector with extremely high electro-optical gain.
