CCD-based detector for protein crystallography with synchrotron X-rays

Regulation of a Viral Proteinase by a Peptide and DNA in One-dimensional Space

“…The intensities were recorded using a Brandeis 4k charge-coupled device detector (23,24). The wavelength was 0.92 Å.…”

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications—A Scientometric Review

“…As seen in Figure 4, the most used case are the image and video capture interfaces. First, the Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) is an image sensor used for different kind of applications (image [104], video [105], X-rays [106] and astronomical [107]). FPGAs' implementations has involved the CCD interface for high speed data acquisition [108][109][110], noise reduction [111,112], ultra-high resolution [113,114], among others.…”

Basic design of a multi wire proportional counter using Garfield++ for ILSF

“…Besides high energy and astrophysics [4] position-sensitive X-ray detectors based on multiwire gas proportional chambers have been utilized for many applications in synchrotron experiments such as X-ray crystallographic studies involving SAXS/WAXS experiments and protein crystallography [5,6]. Although tapered CCD/CMOS based detectors [7] and hybrid pixel detectors have been developed and routinely used for these applications Multi-Wire proportional Counters (MWPCs) feature certain characteristics which render them still suitable for the aforementioned experiments.These characteristics involve a high and easily adjustable Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) over a very wide dynamic range, a low dead time hence a high frame rate capability, the ability to simultaneously determine both the position and energy of each photon [8] and eventually a very attractive per pixel expenditure. The former are especially of interest when recording X-ray diffraction patterns [9] with synchrotron radiation.…”
