At the forefront of modern X-ray structure work, the mar345 Image Plate Detector System offers you the best choice for recording diffraction patterns of small molecules as well as protein crystals. Furthermore, it is a powerful tool for use in the fields of powder diffraction, texture analysis, small angle scattering, fiber and neutron diffraction. Since its introduction in early 1997 the impact in the scientific community has been extraordinary. Close to 420 instruments have been installed by beginning of 2014. They can be found at almost all synchrotrons around the world where they are used as work-horses for all kind of diffraction experiments. Likewise, they are very popular at both commercial and public research institutes. You won’t find an X-ray detector with a better price/performance ratio anywhere!
