Technical Details¶
Pilatus 6M¶
The large (W 590 x H 603 x D 455 mm3) Dectris Pilatus 6-megapixel photon counting detector shown above.
The 6M high-dynamic-range hybrid pixel array detector was designed by Paul Scherrer Institute and sold by Dectris. The 6M Pilatus3 X series single photon counting detector has unprecedented count rate, direct detection of x-ray in single-photon-sensitivity, higher dynamic range (no dark current and no readout noise), higher frame rate, higher maximum count rate, millions of pixels and room temperature operations to reveal the weak features associated with Bragg peaks in diffuse scattering.
The Pilatus 6M detector have pixel size of 172x172 µm², 2463x2527 pixel array, 423.6 x 434.6 mm² active area, 100 Hz frame rate, 20-bit/pixel dynamic range, count rate 10 ph/s/pixel and readout time of 0.95 ms [1].
