[3dem] new camera ...

[Wim Hagen]

I would like to add/confirm that the mentioned scintillator based CMOS detectors are indeed sensitive and have frames. Direct detectors have the highest sensitivity and frames.
The frames-part-only already helps a lot compared to older scintillator based detectors without frames (and less sensitivity).

>> BUT, for daily work, I still prefer the 'old' technology with scintiallator which you can buy e.g. at TVIPS (e.g. the TVIPS FX416) which is very sensitive (although not being a direct detector ... yes, this is possible), and which is very fast, in addition (CMOS technology). And it is affordable, IMO, and reliable.
