Agreement Sees Additional Capability for X-ray Scattering System

The SAXSpace laboratory SWAXS system from Anton Paar GmbH will now be offered with the new EIGER R 1M detector developed by photon counting technology specialist DECTRIS following  a partnership signed by Petra Kotnik, Department Manager of Material Characterization at Anton Paar GmbH, and Clemens Schulze-Briese, CSO at DECTRIS Ltd, Switzerland.

 "DECTRIS HPC detectors are renowned for their single-photon sensitivity. In addition, the new EIGER R 1M combines small pixel size with a sharp point-spread function to achieve exceptional resolution. We make use of of the EIGER 2D detector's advantages for fast and accurate analysis of nanostructured materials in our SAXSpace system. Scientists benefit from a large detector area, excellent resolution and unmatched readout speed and data accuracy," said Heiner Santner, Product Manager for SAXS products at Anton Paar,

"Being our first partner to sign a frame contract for EIGER detectors shows that Anton Paar is dedicated to providing their customers with state-of-the-art technology in cutting-edge instruments," says Clemens Schulze-Briese. "We are happy that Anton Paar fully integrates EIGER detectors into its outstanding SWAXS systems that are easy to use and that make the most out of the potential of our detectors for the users."
