The Importance of Photon Count Rates and Dynamic Range Distinctions in Imaging and Diffraction Applications

Making the right detector selection is critical to succeed at research, especially as faster beamlines increase the importance of photo count rates and dynamic range distinctions. Making the right detector selection requires knowing the beamline and sample characteristics as well as detector basics.  

This comprehensive guide will cover considerations to keep in mind while selecting the right detector (counting and integrating) in life sciences, soft matter, materials sciences, environmental sciences, and cultural heritage research work.
