PILATUS4 for Synchrotrons

DECTRIS PILATUS®4 photon-counting X-ray detectors offer unprecedented speed, with up to 4,000 frames per second for large active areas. They empower fast measurements through their large angular coverage with a pixel resolution of 150 µm, in combination with highly efficient direct detection. The choice of a cadmium telluride or silicon sensor for optimal quantum efficiency at your photon energy range, as well as continuous readout with practically no count-loss between frames, add to the excellent overall detection efficiency. Moreover, the silicon-based detectors’ optional vacuum compatibility achieves the ideal compatibility for long, in-vacuum SAXS setups.

The latest photon-counting technology, with DECTRIS Instant Retrigger®, enables a maximum count-rate capability of above 10⁷ ph/s/pixel and ideally pairs with an image bit depth (dynamic range) of up to 32 bits. This will allow you to take full advantage of the increasing photon fluxes at contemporary beamlines. In addition, PILATUS4 comes fully calibrated, offers four adjustable energy thresholds and enables double gating for pump-probe experiments. It is easy to integrate with its reliable SIMPLON API control and data interface supporting low-latency data streaming. All of this will make PILATUS4 an advanced, versatile, and future-proof detector for your beamline. 

• Large & fast: PILATUS4 offers a frame rate of up to 4,000 Hz, even for the largest, 4M-pixel active area.  

• Continuous readout: there is no signal loss between frames in time-resolved, in situ, or scanning experiments.

• Reliable & stable: Rely on the stable performance of DECTRIS detectors, the robust controls and data interfaces, and our top-notch global support.
