DECTRIS PILATUS4 Detectors for Laboratories

DECTRIS PILATUS4 R CdTe detectors allow quick data collection with their large active area of up to 155 × 162 mm and high quantum efficiency (over 95%) using any X-Ray source from Cu to In. For Ag, Mo, and In radiation, PILATUS4 R CdTe outperforms any HPC detector with a Si sensor—even PILATUS3, which has the thickest Si sensor available.

A dynamic range that spans 10 orders of magnitude is attained via PILATUS4’s superior count rates and the lack of detector background. Internal frame rates of up to 200 Hz enhance the count-rate correction and guarantee highly precise measurement of extreme intensities. PILATUS4 provides fresh possibilities in spectral imaging and Laue diffraction using four energy-discriminating thresholds.

  • Large and efficient: Active regions of a maximum of 155 × 162 mm, with a quantum efficiency of over 95%
  • Due to superior count rates, zero detector background, and concurrent read/write, the most extensive possible dynamic range is available.
  • Versatile: For polychromatic applications, four energy-discriminating thresholds are available; High quantum efficiency from Cu to In also exists
