Abstract
Neutron-diffraction studies are much improved by the use of large posi tion-sensitive detectors. Such devices can be based on image-plate tec hnology, which relies on re-usable photostimuable phosphors, combined with a neutron to gamma-ray converter. A cylindrical detector has been built, and a first recording of a neutron-diffraction pattern from a protein crystal is presented.
