Table 1. Main specifications of the SAXS, USAXS, WAXS and XPCS detectors for 12.4 keV X-rays.

The spatial resolution (FWHM) was measured using a 20 µm attenuated beam and fitted to a Gaussian profile. The maximum counts of the CCD detectors are in analogue–digital units (ADU) per pixel. For the Eiger detectors, the PSF is roughly a boxcar function of width the same as the pixel size, and the indicated value is an analogous Gaussian FWHM.
