Crystallography – Structural Insight that Drives Discovery
Understanding the structure of materials at the atomic scale is essential across chemistry, biology, materials science, and pharmaceuticals. Crystallography techniques enable researchers to determine how atoms are bonded, how molecules fold, and how materials behave under various conditions. X ray diffraction, microscopy, and spectroscopy leverage different aspects of crystallography to effectively “see inside” molecules and crystals.
Detectors Made for Precision and High Repetition Rates
Sydor Technologies partners with scientists and engineers to enable crystallographic insight with instrumentation that meets the challenges of today’s most ambitious experiments. Our detectors enable data collection to keep up with advancing technology at synchrotrons and laser facilities.

Sydor Capabilities
Sydor Technologies supports crystallographic experiments with advanced detection and data acquisition systems designed for accuracy, speed, and integration into complex beamline environments. Key application capabilities include:
Burst Imaging – Capture x-ray data with a minimum integration time of 50 ns, with 10 MHz maximum frame rate.
High Dynamic Range – Choose between silicon and CdTe sensors for sensitivity to x rays between 5 and ~50 keV.
Addition to Spectrometer – Large spatial area (512 x 512 pixels at 150 um pixel pitch) for large angular spread.
Single Photon Detection – Prevent saturation with high dynamic range and eliminate dead time with mixed-mode acquisition.
Synchrotron and FEL Integration – Optimize performance for beamline-based experiments with custom detection and timing solutions, with radiation hardened designs.
