Detector
NaI scintillation counter and measuring electronics provide 700,000 cps, with automated dead time correction.
High resolution 2D RIGAKU HyPix 3000 Detector. Large active area of approximately 3000 mm² with a small pixel size of 100 μm², resulting in a detector with high spatial resolution. High count rate of greater than 10⁶ cps/pixel, a fast readout speed and essentially no noise. Ultra-high dynamic range and high sensitivity. Seamless switching from 2D-TDI (Time Delay and Integration) mode to 2D snapshot mode to 1D-TDI mode to 0D mode with a single detector. XRF suppression by high and low energy discrimination.
• Computer-controlled detector with the RIGAKU Guidance software
• 0D - 1D - 2D modes: can be used in any case (alignment, BB, PB, ..) directly from Guidance
• active zone: 77.5 x 37.5mm
• Pixel: 100 x 100mm
