A global market leader in X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrumentation, our partner Bruker and Dectris, the technology leader in Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detectors for laboratory instrumentation and synchrotron beamlines, introduce the EIGER2 R 250K X-ray detector.

The device is a member of the latest EIGER2 R series of HPC pixel detectors. It is a compelling and easy-to-use multifunctional solution.
EIGER2 R 250K advantages:

The new EIGER2 R 250K with over 250,000 pixels incorporates the latest technological enhancements applied to the entire EIGER2 R family, such as the doubled dynamical range and the expanded threshold energy range for an even more versatile background reduction. The high frame rate common to all EIGER2 R detectors enables 2-dimensional data collection in continuous scanning mode and single-photon counting without spatial distortion.

The seamless integration into the DIFFRAC.SUITE software architecture, the ergonomic design of the X-ray detector mount, and dedicated accessories enable fast and reliable optimisation of instrument geometry and efficient data collection for many applications. Bruker’s consistent implementation of 0D, 1D, and 2D data acquisition modes and patented algorithms ensures the best data quality for every sample.

Bruker’s D8 ADVANCE™ and D8 DISCOVER™ X-ray diffractometers equipped with the new EIGER2 R 250K detector are highly versatile tools for materials characterisation covering all X-ray applications from powder diffraction (XRPD), microdiffraction (μXRD), texture or residual stress analysis, crystallite size determination, thin-film analysis by X-ray reflectometry (XRR) and high-resolution diffraction (HRXRD) to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS).
