Hi, I know the chance is low, but in a desperate try to fix our long-serving Rigaku crystal imager I'm wondering whether anyone is aware of any decommissioned (Desktop) Minstrel systems around which could provide spare sparts. Unfortunately Rigaku crystal automation systems are no longer supported .
In particular, we are in need of the built-in replacement CCD camera (a QImaging Retiga 4000R, https://www.photometrics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Retiga-4000R-Datasheet.pdf), which is (not surprisingly) also not available any longer. As the Rigaku Minstrel system is rather closed (and the software no longer developed) I'm not sure if other cameras would work, too (it's connected via Firewire and has a standard C-mount, 2048x2048 pixels). Does anyone have experience or heard of other cameras working in a Minstrel system? Any help would be greatly appreciated (please contact off the list)!
