MYTHEN2 for Laboratories
Powered by BiozThese versatile X-ray detectors with a 50-µm strip offer high quantum efficiency for the widest X-ray energy range: from titanium (Ti) to silver (Ag).
DECTRIS® MYTHEN2 strip detectors bring synchrotron-like detection to the lab for all X-ray diffraction, scattering, and spectroscopy techniques. Their radiation hardness and maintenance-free operation make these detectors the perfect choice for academic research, multi-purpose service laboratories, portable diffractometers, and industrial sites that employ Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) rules.
MYTHEN2 R offers the narrowest strip width (50 μm) on the market, providing unprecedented signal resolution. Single-photon counting eliminates dark current and readout noise while delivering superior data. MYTHEN2 R detectors also combine noise-free performance with high quantum efficiency for the widest X-ray energy range: from Ti to Ag. This unique combination of features will help you make the most of weak laboratory sources by maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio and minimizing measurement and data processing times.
- ✓ Fast & accurate: these detectors offer noise-free detection at the highest commercially available count rate for an extended energy range (from 4 to 40 keV).
- ✓ Modular & compatible: individual modules are easy to combine to build larger systems. The detectors also offer optional vacuum capability.
- ✓ Reliable: detector performance will be maintenance- and service-free. Delivery terms are guaranteed, thanks to streamlined industrial production and top-notch support.
