Abstract :
We present the first results of the application of a novel digital X-ray imaging detector, based on secondary electron emission from a solid converter, to high-rate crystallographic studies. Results from diffraction and small-angle scattering experiments from several crystallized proteins, performed at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, ESRF, Grenoble, are presented and compared with a phosphor-based imaging system. Future developments of this detector system are proposed
