چکیده
An interpolating two-dimensional X-ray imaging detector based on a single-photon counter with gas amplification by GEM (gas electron multiplier) structures is presented. The detector system can be used for time-resolved structure research down to the micro s time domain. The prototype detector has been tested at the SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) beamline at ELETTRA synchrotron light source with a beam energy of 8 keV. The imaging performance is examined with apertures and standard diffraction targets. Finally, the application in a time-resolved lipid temperature-jump experiment is presented.
