DECTRIS® MYTHEN2 strip detectors have transformed high-resolution X-ray diffraction, scattering, and spectroscopy measurements by giving them another dimension: time. Renowned for its narrow strip and sharp point-spread function, MYTHEN2 X introduces a 1,000-Hz frame rate with a 24-bit dynamic range for any number of modules. This opens up new domains of time-resolved and in situ studies.

The Detector Control System 4 (DCS4), with electronic gating and an external trigger, allows for tailor-made multimodular solutions and full synchronization of the detector with other systems. The time dimension, however, does not compromise data quality or system flexibility: we guarantee noise-free detection even for long exposure times. Additionally, the modules’ optional vacuum compatibility opens up new possibilities for X-ray spectroscopy applications.
