basic information
FMB Oxford is a leading company headquartered in Oxford, England, that manufactures and sells detectors including beamlines, monochromators, mirror systems, and scintillators. The history of FMB Oxford began in the early 1990s, during which it supplied numerous beamlines to cutting-edge third-generation synchrotron facilities (such as Helios1, ANKA, and ESRF). Currently, the site, which exceeds 2,260 square meters, includes offices, manufacturing space, a UHV cleaning area, and a large clean room, ensuring product quality through thorough temperature and humidity control. The products, which have continued to grow and improve alongside a long history, still provide new solutions to many researchers in order to support the demands in the field of science.

Line up（7）
| Model number | overview |
|---|---|
| Scintillation Detector System | The FMB Oxford scintillation detector allows for the selection of two sizes and various configurations, making it possible to choose according to individual needs. The scintillation detector consists of four components: scintillation detector head, preamplifier electronics (CP), signal cable, and pulse processing electronics (C400). Please refer to the catalog for more details. |
| Ion Chambers | Ionization chambers can be used in various experiments such as X-ray protein crystallization, general diffraction experiments, and absorption spectroscopy. A complete system requires a detector head, high voltage power supply, and signal processing module. FMB Oxford offers a full range of products in various configurations, along with the relevant cables, to meet all application requirements. |
| Beam Position Monitors | There are five types of BPMs available. Please check the catalog for details. ・Nano Beam Position Monitor ・Quadrant Beam Position Monitor (QBPM) ・Blade BPM ・Beam Position Ion Chamber (BPIC) ・Cavity Beam Position Monitor |
| Avalanche Photo Diodes | The FMB Oxford APD detector is a super-fast detection system using avalanche photodiodes for X-ray scattering experiments up to 20keV. It is ideal for experiments using a wide dynamic range, time-resolved measurements, and high-speed photon counting, providing ultimate speed, resolution, efficiency, and noise levels while maintaining a robust and user-friendly architecture. |
| PF4 X-Ray Filter | This includes functions such as studying surface reflections, matching the scattering intensity of samples to the linear range of the detector, adjusting X-ray exposure in experiments requiring specific X-ray doses, or functioning as a beam stopper to minimize sample damage. Depending on experimental requirements, the filter unit can be evacuated or filled with He. |
| Bent Crystal Laue Analyser | The FMB Oxford BCLA is a versatile narrow-band filter that can achieve ultimate performance in various applications, including XRF and XAFS experiments on synchrotron beamlines. This system is compatible with various backend detectors and rejects unwanted X-ray photons (such as scattering and fluorescence from other elements in the sample) before detection, significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio. |
| Gas Blower | This system can heat small samples with high-temperature gas up to 1,000°C with an accuracy of ±1°C. It consists of a hot air generator controlled by a Eurotherm regulator and gas flow controller (normal air flow 40l/h). Main: 110/220 V – 50/60 Hz – 1000W. |
