Technology


Initially developed for direct X-ray detection, hybrid-pixel technology carries a lot of promise for electron microscopy as well. It enables the direct detection of electrons, offers a high dynamic range and zero readout noise, and delivers the utmost signal-to-noise ratio, with the added advantages of radiation hardness and an elevated frame rate.

The energy of an incident electron is completely absorbed by a biased semiconductor sensor, and this generates a charge pulse. These signals are then processed, digitalized, and counted at a high speed by DECTRIS’ ASIC, delivering images of the highest quality.
