PHOTON III Detector

The largest photon-counting pixel array detector available for the home laboratory.

Conventional photon counting detectors (eg HPC and HPADs) suffer from poor linearity and limited count rate for strong reflections, which reduce data quality. PHOTON III is the first pixel array detector with mixed mode detection: simultaneous photon counting and charge integration. Detector noise is eliminated, with the highest linearity, together with the best possible sensitivity and dynamic range, for both strong and weak reflections. With no gaps and no charge sharing, the PHOTON III delivers the ultimate data quality.

The active area is tailored for the best performance in your application. Two sizes are available:

• 140 × 100 mm² active area
• 140 × 200 mm² active area – the largest available for the home lab

IµS 3.0 Source

The IµS 3.0 is the first micro-focus source designed specifically for crystallography, with significant advantages:

• For Cu, Mo and Ag
• Greatly enhanced stability
• Almost double the intensity of conventional sources
• Very long tube lifetimes – with no maintenance
• Completely air-cooled
• 3 year warranty

APEX3 Software

Completely new APEX3 software, designed for enhanced productivity:

• Comprehensive SC-XRD software with trusted algorithms.
• Easy to use for collecting and integrating data through to structure solution, refinement and publication.
• Intrinsic Phasing (ShelXT) solves most structures in seconds with no space group input.
• Improved twin handling of up to eight domains with excellent graphical feedback and straightforward twin law determination.
• New model refinement plug-in for interactive visualisation of 3D structures including electron density and difference density maps.
• Autostructure automatically delivers the completely correct structure in 87% of cases.
• XRD² Routine collects powder data from capillary and flat samples.
