MerlinX
The MerlinX photon counting detector system utilises a Medipix3 ASIC. MerlinX is packing a lot in for its size. With a vast range of applications, MerlinX is a high performance X-Ray imaging detector.
HEXITEC
HEXITEC detector is a self-contained system that measures the energy and position of every incident photon in the 4-200 keV range.
Zebra
Zebra, a digital signal level converter and position capture unit. Signals from multiple single channel inputs in TTL, LVDS, PECL, NIM or Open Collector format, are converted to LVTTL and passes the signals to an FPGA.
MerlinEM
The MerlinEM Direct Electron Detector (DED), a pixelated detector ideal for applications such as 4D STEM and TEM dynamic imaging, offers rapid readout and improved signal to noise.
Quantum C100
QD introduces the Quantum C100. Born from discussions in the Cryo-EM field, this detector is designed as the ideal detector for performance at 100keV.
V2F100
The V2F100 allows users to perform high-resolution voltage-to-frequency conversion, a technique widely used in synchrotrons and other scientific applications.
Xspress 3
The Xspress 3 family of readouts has revolutionised the analysis of fluorescence detector data. Improvements in throughput and resolution optimisation, allow faster experiments with improved results.
MerlinEELS
Direct electron counting detector for electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) imaging. MerlinEELS significantly improves EELS in two key metrics: electron counting - to get the maximum signal to noise ratio and, high framerates independent of detection noise - to mitigate sample drifts.
PandABox
PandABox is a fully integrated position, acquisition and control system, equipped to process absolute encoder inputs.
Spectral small-angle X-ray scattering (sSAXS)
An extension to the small-angle X-ray scattering technique that promises specific advantages in lab-based experiments.

Diffraction Imaging and SPED
MerlinEM detectors offer unique opportunities for electron diffraction imaging. The simultaneous high dynamic range, high frame rate and ability to count single electrons massively expand the usefulness of this very established set of techniques. On top of this, the MerlinEM is radiation safe even at 300kV so there is no need to use a beam stopper.

4D STEM
Modern fast framing electron detectors like MerlinEM allow practical imaging of a full distribution of electrons for each probe position in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The most common name of the technique is 4D STEM, however, scanned diffraction or momentum resolved STEM are also used.

Cryo-EM Single Particle Analysis
Single particle analysis is a group of related computerized image processing techniques used to analyze images from transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Ptychography
Ptychography is a subset of Coherent Diffractive Imaging (CDI) which uses a coherent energy source (in our case, electrons or X-rays) to illuminate a sample and retrieve the phase information on the sample from phase-retrieval analysis of the far-field diffraction pattern.
