Combination of the best properties of TAS and TOF:
- continuous beam and large solid angle
- using space focusing: a small single counter
- increase in solid angle (up to 2.5 Sterad, better than on the best TOF) without multiplying counting volume (much better than TOF).
- typical instrument volume ~1 m3
- low and sample–independent BG: protection on the sample-counter path
- HOPG: improved resolution
- Be: now it acts as filter for higher orders
