✦ Synopsis

LynxEye™ from Bruker AXS is a one-dimensional X-ray diffraction (XRD) detector that simultaneously measures a wide angular range. This reduces measurement times compared with traditional point detectors, while achieving high resolution and excellent peak shape. Applications include fast phase analysis, crystal structure refinement, microstrain and crystallite size determination, and stress measurements. LynxEye uses compound Si strip technology, and has a large 14.4 mm x 16 mm active area. There is no need for counting gas, cooling water, or liquid N 2 , so it is virtually maintenance-free, compact, and robust. The detector fits all D4 and D8 series Bruker AXS diffractometers and can be readily exchanged with other detectors.
