4.1 Pilatus 1M Detector
4.1.1 Front Side of the Detector
The detector comes with a protective cover (1.4 mm, low carbon steel sheet
metal 1.0330, St12) for the front window which should be removed for
operation. The sensors are behind a 12 µm thick Mylar ® (PET) foil coated
with 100 nm aluminum to protect it from dust and touch.
The cover has a mounting edge on top and can be removed by carefully
pulling at the bottom and lifting it away.
When mounting the cover, make sure it is first hooked on the mounting edge
centered and then slowly lowered.
Do not touch the Mylar ® foil.
The cover may not protect the detector from direct synchrotron
beam.
