I'm involved in advising my institute on an X-ray home source for a core facility. The vendors are offering some new configurations. Whatever the claimed advantages/disadvantages, I'm hesitant to make a decision without consulting someone with direct experience with them. In particular, has anyone had any experience with using the "photon100" CMOS detector being offered by Bruker, or the "pilatus 200K" detector being offered by Rigaku? I'd also appreciate hearing from anyone with experience with the latest Bruker microfocus rotating anode generator (called the Turbo or TXS)?
Many thanks for sharing your experiences. Fareed Aboul-ela Associate Professor Zewail University Zewail City of Science and Technology Giza, Egypt faboul...@zewailcity.edu.eg
