CMOS flatpanel detectors for SAXS/WAXS experiments

Combining Small Angle and Wide Angle X- Ray Scattering Techniques for In-situ Studies of Particle Formation Processes in Reactive Systems Using a New Detector Prototype

Introduction To date there are still many unknowns on how particles are formed from gas phase reactive systems such as combustion. It is possible to study particles in-situ using X-ray scattering techniques: Separate applications have shown that the size distribution of soot particle can be measured using Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) [1-4] and particle structure with Wide-Angle X-ray Sca...

Driving the paradigm shift in innovative flat-panel detector technology, introducing CMOS on mobile full-size C-arms

One of these innovations came to life in 2006 with the first introduction of flatpanel detectors (FD) to a mobile C-arm. Ziehm Imaging started the paradigm shift of innovative detector technologies for mobile X-ray imaging from image intensifiers (I. I.) to flat-panel detectors. Other C-arm competitors followed and reconfirmed the trend of implementing amorphous silicon (aSi) flat-panel detecto...

A large-area CMOS imager as an X-ray detector for synchrotron radiation experiments.

The performance of a CMOS flatpanel imager from Hamamatsu Photonics (C7942) has been tested in various synchrotron radiation experiments. This detector has a detection area of about 120 mm x 120 mm with 0.05 mm pixels, and a frame rate of 2 s(-1). The commercially available product was insensitive to X-rays with an energy lower than 15 keV, but slight modifications solved this problem. Images o...

Development of a Drop-on-demand Inkjet System for Stroboscopic Saxs/waxs Experiments

Understanding nucleic acid structural changes by comparing wide-angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) experiments to molecular dynamics simulations.

Wide-angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) is emerging as a powerful tool for increasing the resolution of solution structure measurements of biomolecules. Compared to its better known complement, small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), WAXS targets higher scattering angles and can enhance structural studies of molecules by accessing finer details of solution structures. Although the extension from SAXS t...
