ULTRA Detector for X-RAYS

The popular choice for dispersive beamlines at synchrotrons worldwide. X-CHIP detectors like ULTRA are installed or on their way to dispersive beamlines in the UK (LOLA at Diamond, 2 detectors), Japan (PF) and France (2 at ID24 at the ESRF and 1 on ODE at SOLEIL).
The ULTRA for X-Rays is also used at the APS for X-ray diffraction experiments on 4-ID-D.

The ULTRA is an affordable detector which achieves a huge leap in performance over other detectors in the field. No other 1 dimensional detector commercially available offers 50us readout times combined with a 512 pixel silicon sensor and sensitivity of 5-17KeV.
Time frames are programmable from the flexible windows interface

Gigabit Ethernet for easy connectivity

Simple, straightforward ethernet port for connecting the unit direct to a PC up to 100m away

Precision machined and bolted to ensure perfect alignment

>100 bolts are fixed by hand, hours of milling by top end CNC machines and over one hour of welding by hand.

Built to last from stainless steel and aluminium

High quality materials ensure that your ULTRA System will be robust and reliable well into the future.

Low environmental impact

The ULTRA System is manufactured using high quality, low toxicity components.

Coated with Surtec 650 to block EMI

Electromagnetic Interference causes noise in results. This is blocked out of the ULTRA System by the highly conductive coating.
This special coating also prevents corrosion up to 60 ÂșC

Swappable heads for multiple configurations

Buy two heads, one sensitive to visible light and one to UV.

A range of software options available

Including a custom built windows interface
