Bruker D8 X-ray diffraction (XRD) System

Description

Bruker LynxEye Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) for D8 X-ray diffraction (XRD)

The LynxEye is based on the silicon strip detector technology. The active area of the detector is 14.4 mm by 16 mm (along the scattering plane respectively perpendicular). The 192 strips of the sensor act as 192 individual detectors. This technology allows operation at count rates much higher than those typically possible with gaseous detectors while maintaining all benefits. Together with the innovative front-end electronics, optimum tuning of the silicon strip sensor to the requirements of the X-ray energy from 6 keV to 15 keV is provided. The factory settings are optimized for Cu-K . The LynxEye fits to all Bruker AXS D4 and D8 Diffraction Solutions. It can be easily exchanged by any other point, linear or 2-dimensional detector. There is no need for counting gas, cooling water or liquid nitrogen, making the LynxEye a compact, robust and maintenance-free detector.

This LynxEye has been validated with an internal procedure using a NIST Corundum Standard SRM_1976. National Bureau Standard (US) Circ. 539, 93 (1960).
