Online imaging plate detector and reader

申请资金用于购买在线2D成像板读取器。图像读板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射线显微分析光束线（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。它对于从衍射和成像实验中记录高质量和准确的二维强度数据至关重要。此外，与手动离线图像读板器相比，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光束时间。成像板读取器预计将永久驻扎在HXMA光束线，并将访问一个大型同步加速器社区的成员以外的主要和共同申请人领导的团体。

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.
