R. Chechik et al., REAL-TIME SECONDARY-ELECTRON EMISSION DETECTOR FOR HIGH-RATE X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 43(3), 1996, pp. 1248-1252
We present the first results of the application of a novel digital X-r
ay imaging detector, based on secondary electron emission from a solid
converter, to high-rate crystallographic studies. Results from diffra
ction and small-angle scattering experiments from several crystallized
proteins, performed at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, E
SRF, Grenoble, are presented and compared with a phosphor-based imagin
g system. Future developments of this detector system are proposed.
