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.
