LAMBDA 7.5M

Large detector area for demanding synchrotron experiments

The LAMBDA 7.5M provides a large active detector area while retaining the full performance of the LAMBDA platform. Its 55 µm pixels and noise-free photon counting deliver high-quality diffraction and imaging data across the entire field of view. Frame rates of up to 2000 fps at 12-bit or 1000 fps at 24-bit dynamic range make it ideal for large-area, time-resolved experiments. Despite its size, the detector integrates seamlessly into modern beamline environments and supports reliable operation during extended measurement campaigns.

LAMBDA 9M

Even larger for best angular coverage

The LAMBDA 9M is designed for demanding X-ray scattering experiments where large angular coverage, high spatial resolution, and fast readout are essential. Its large active area with 55 µm pixels captures detailed scattering patterns with excellent position sensitivity, while frame rates of up to 24 000 fps enable time-resolved measurements without readout deadtime. Noise-free photon counting and charge summing mode support high-quality quantitative data, even for challenging contrast and dynamic range requirements. Available with high-Z sensor materials such as GaAs, the LAMBDA 9M is particularly well suited for synchrotron-based scattering experiments at higher X-ray energies.

AEON 700k

Highest speed and event-driven detection

AEON brings high-speed, noise-free X-ray detection to scattering experiments that require both excellent spatial resolution and precise timing. Built around the Timepix4 readout chip, it combines 700k pixels with 55 µm size, event-driven detection at nanosecond-class time resolution, and frame-based readout at up to 40 000 fps. This makes AEON well suited for time-resolved X-ray scattering studies, fast dynamics, and experiments where individual photon timing adds information beyond conventional imaging. Its noise-free photon counting supports clean, quantitative scattering data even at low signal levels.
