Quantum Detectors Ltd.

Quantum Detectors was founded in 2007, a technology spin-out from the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and Diamond Light Source (DLS), the UK’s synchrotron radiation facility. The company today is a market-leading provider of advanced direct electron detectors and readout solutions employed in TEM and synchrotron radiation facilities throughout the world. And with several hundred installations operational in the field, our readout systems are leading the way in accessing high-quality beamline data. The company was provided with initial funding and tasked with commercialising technology developed at the SRS synchrotron at Daresbury Laboratory. We installed our 100th Xspress 3 system, cementing its position as the leading readout system for analysis of fluorescence detector data at synchrotrons worldwide. With a vast range of applications, MerlinX is a high performance X-Ray imaging detector. HEXITEC detector is a self-contained system that measures the energy and position of every incident photon in the 4-200 keV range. Born from discussions in the Cryo-EM field, this detector is designed as the ideal detector for performance at 100keV.
