The R-AXIS IV++ is arguably the most productive X-ray area detector in the history of macromolecular crystallography. In production for well over a decade and continuously improved during that time period, the success of the R-AXIS IV++ is a testament to the suitability of imaging plate technology for measuring the diffraction patterns from protein crystals.
