EIGER2 R 500K: Not Your Typical Jack of All Trades
The EIGER2 R 500K detector breaks the paradigm that “versatility comes at the cost of performance”. This 15 minute webinar will discuss the impact that the EIGER2 has had in the XRD community, with examples from various areas of materials research.
After the presentation, there will be an interactive question and answer session, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions.

EIGER 2K 500K XRD Detector
The EIGER2 is a Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) pixel detector developed by DECTRIS, a leader in HPC detector technology. In collaboration with Bruker, the 2D detector seamlessly integrates into the Bruker D8 ADVANCE and D8 DISCOVER XRD systems.
This gives you a distinctive set of benefits for XRD:
- High frame rate for 2D data collection in continuous scanning mode
- Single photon counting without spatial distortion
- Highest count rates and dynamic range
- Switch between 0D, 1D and 2D mode
The detector is suitable for applications including:
- Powder diffraction (XRPD)
- Micro diffraction (µXRD)
- Texture and residual stress analysis
- Crystallite size determination
- Thin film analysis with X-ray reflectometry (XRR) – more info
- High-resolution diffraction (HRXRD)
- Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and GISAXS)
Example: Powder XRD vs micro-diffraction in geology
