The Bruker EIGER2 R 500K is a powerful detector that speeds up and extends the capabilities of Bruker XRD systems. Watch a recorded 30-minute webinar from Bruker for a quick introduction to the new technology.
UPDATE: There’s now an extra addition to the EIGER2 R detector family: the EIGER2 R 250K – details here.
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 of EIGER2 on 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
Dr Lutz Bruegemann, Vice President of Bruker AXS and General Manager of XRD, said, “The coordinated development teams at DECTRIS and Bruker have done a tremendous job. The result is outstanding synergy between the latest HPC detector technology and the most powerful and user-friendly XRD platform on the market, enabling customers to seamlessly incorporate the new EIGER2 R 500K into our D8 diffraction solutions for many important applications.”
