Online imaging plate detector and reader

购买在线2D成像板阅读器需要资金。图像板阅读器将用于极端条件下的微晶X射线衍射和加拿大光源高能X射线微分析光束线(HXMA)的生物医学成像测量。在线阅读器将是HXMA光束线的主要探测器。它对于记录高质量和准确的来自衍射和成像实验的二维强度数据是必不可少的。此外，与手动脱机图像版读取器相比，读出时间的减少是显著的。该系统的可用性将有助于优化使用宝贵的同步加速器波束时间。成像平板阅读器预计将永久驻扎在HXMA光束线上，除校长和共同申请者领导的小组外，大型同步加速器社区的成员将可以访问该读卡器。

Funding is requested to purchase an online 2D imaging plate reader. The image plate reader will be used for micro-crystal x-ray diffraction under extreme conditions and bio-medical imaging measurements at the high energy x-ray micro-analysis beamline (HXMA) at the Canadian Light Source. The online reader will be the primary detector for the HXMA beamline. It is essential for the recording of high quality and accurate two-dimensional intensities data from diffraction and imaging experiments. Moreover, the reduction of readout time compare to manual offline image plate reader is significant. The avaliability of this system will help to optimize the use of valuable synchrotron beamtime. The imaging plate reader is expected to be stationed permanently at the HXMA beamline and will be accessible to members of a large synchrootron community other than the groups lead by the principal and the co-applicants.
