R-AXIS IV++ imaging plate area detector
The R-AXIS IV++ is the most popular X-ray area detector for macromolecular crystallography. It combines two large active area imaging plates with fast readout speeds and a wide dynamic range, making it ideal for collecting accurate diffraction data from the widest ranges of samples in the home laboratory.
Features
- Two large active area (300 mm x 300 mm) imaging plates provide simultaneous expose and read operations
- Widest dynamic range with dual photomultiplier design
- Highest sensitivity, using eight-fold pixel sampling
- Lowest noise, less than 0.5 X-ray photon
- Helical scan providing accurate data readout with no conversions
- No detector calibration required
- Low maintenance—all components can be serviced on-site
- Excellent detector for any of the protein HomeLab™ systems
- Supported by CrystalClear™ and HKL-2000®
The R-AXIS IV++ is the workhorse X-ray detector for protein home labs around
the world and provides that highest quality data of any IP detector available.
