Synchrotron radiation allows the study of structural dynamics by X-ray diffraction techniques. These experiments impose unusual demands on X-ray detector systems. High count rates, wide dynamic range, good spatial and temporal resolution and real time data processing are all required. A recently completed system fulfills many of these requirements having a spatial resolution of better than 0.3 × 0.3 mm over an area of 200 × 200 mm with a 600 kHz throughput and a dynamic range limited by counting statistics. Examples derived from the existing experimental programme are used to illustrate the performance of these devices.
