## Description

1\. We require a curved Hybrid Photon Counting \(HPC\) X-ray detector for single crystal diffraction applications\. The detector should offer up to 100 degrees angular coverage from edge to edge and should be capable of rapid collections\. The detector must be able to interface with a Rigaku 007 MicroMax-007 HF generator, a UG2 universal goniometer and work with Crysalis software\. It also needs to be able to be serviced by engineers who are experts on the current and new equipment, and be covered by our current service contract\. 2\. We require an upgrade to the goniometer our Rigaku FR-E synergy-custom Mo source instrument\. It must be a fast kappa geometry goniometer, allowing for collection scan speeds of up to 10°/sec\. It must be compatible and able to perfectly interface with our current X-ray generator, Hypix detector, Oxford Cryostream 800, and Crysalis software\. It also needs to be able to be serviced by existing service contracts\.
