The detector is a CCD camera for fast acquisition of the
diffraction frames. A cryogenic system using liquid nitrogen
is used to freeze the crystal and limit the radiation damage.
The diffractometer includes a robot for automatic mounting
of frozen crystals stored in a deward filled with liquid
nitrogen. It can be used for fast screening of crystal quality,
including protein crystals.
The motorized goniometer head (in red on the picture) is able
to center automatically the crystals.
