EIGER2 for Laboratories

EIGER2 R photon-counting X-ray detectors bring synchrotron-quality measurements into your laboratory.

 

Originally developed for synchrotron beamlines, DECTRIS EIGER2® photon-counting detectors are also available for laboratory applications. The laboratory version of these detectors enjoys all the benefits of hybrid-pixel technology, including extensive background suppression and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio thanks to absence of detector background. With their superior dynamic range, these detectors also offer highly accurate measurements of very strong and weak intensities in the same exposure.

EIGER2 detectors reduce your measurement times by delivering high quality data fast and efficiently. Additionally, their many shapes and sizes, different sensor materials, vacuum compatibility, and room-temperature operation make them easy to integrate into a wide variety of scientific instruments. 

Our OEM partners benefit from our Swiss-quality products, extended warranty, and uninterrupted support throughout the product’s life cycle. The end user, meanwhile, enjoys fast and straightforward data collection.

  
  • Fast: these detectors offer continuous readout for excellent duty cycle at high frame rates.
  • More & better data: the detectors feature high quantum efficiency, high spatial and angular resolution, a high count rate, and two energy-discriminating thresholds. There is no readout noise or dark current.
  • Versatile: we offer many shapes and sizes, room-temperature operation, and optional vacuum capability. The detectors are compatible with various sources.

 

EIGER2 R Series

EIGER2 R Series

DECTRIS EIGER2® R X-ray detectors for laboratory applications incorporate all the state-of-the art features of hybrid-pixel technology. The two energy-discriminating thresholds allow for extensive background suppression and improve the signal-to-noise ratio, in particular for weak signals and long exposure times. The detectors’ superior count-rate performance, high dynamic range, and simultaneous read/write with zero dead time enable accurate measurements of even the highest intensities. Thanks to the detectors’ optional vacuum compatibility, absorption and scattering from air and windows can be minimized. 75-µm pixels, in combination with direct detection, achieve high spatial and angular resolution and give you the benefit of fine sampling with wide coverage of reciprocal space. DECTRIS EIGER2® R’s many geometries and room-temperature operation, with dedicated support from us, make it an easy-to-integrate and easy-to-operate X-ray detector for any analytical instrument.

EIGER2 R CdTe Series

EIGER2 R CdTe Series

The cadmium-telluride sensor of DECTRIS EIGER2® R CdTe X-ray detectors offers a higher quantum efficiency for molybdenum (Mo), silver (Ag), and indium (In) compared to these detectors’ silicon-sensor counterparts, while closely matching silicon detectors’ high efficiency for copper (Cu) radiation. The series’ unprecedentedly high count-rate capability, which is enabled by DECTRIS’ patented Instant Retrigger, allows for more accurate measurements of even the highest intensities that can be achieved with laboratory sources. Equipped with two energy-discriminating thresholds, these detectors have low dark counts from environmental background. This significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio for weak signals and long exposures, allowing for shorter measurement times and better data quality. Single-photon counting, in combination with continuous read/write, overcome all saturation issues and the limited dynamic range of integrating detectors. In addition, direct detection and the small, 75-µm pixel size guarantee high spatial and angular resolution. Coming in five different sizes, which include wide geometries, and with optional vacuum compatibility, EIGER2 R CdTe detectors can fulfill the requirements of almost any high-energy experimental setup you can think of.
