The beamline will be equipped with a novel PILATUS 300k pixel detector (readout time < 3 ms and pixel size 172 μm) and with two commercial large area 2D CCD detectors (readout time ca. 1 s and pixel size 40 μm). The suitability of the PILATUS detector for GISAXS experiments was tested in autumn 2007 at the DORIS III beamline BW4 [1].
An x-ray camera with 2 μm spatial resolution will be used for sample alignment.
