Recently, Imaging Plate and X-ray CCD detectors have been used widely in X-ray diffraction experiments with laboratory X-ray sources. Principle and Performance of Imaging Plate and X-ray CCD detectors are compared together with those of scintillation counters. Especially, the efficiencies of the detectors are compared in details in terms of DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) . Also, items to be kept in mind when one uses X-ray area detectors are described.
