Product description

High-speed single-photon counting camera for versatile x-ray imaging and particle tracking

The MiniPIX SPRINTER offers the highest frame rate in its category – up to 99 frames per second – combined with extremely high stability. The signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 2,000 enables crystal-clear X-ray images with noise at 0.05 % or the resulting image. Another advantage is its compact size. It measures 80 x 21 x 14 mm and weighs just 37 grams.

The detector features 256 x 256 pixels with a pitch of 55 μm. The spectroscopic mode offers direct energy measurements in every pixel. The MiniPIX SPRINTER delivers the best energy resolution for XRF & XRD.

Main features of the MiniPIX SPRINTER photon-counting camera:

Energy thresholding for multichannel X-ray imaging
Fully spectral radiation detection and particle tracking
Four multipurpose digital counters per pixel
Many modes of operation, including particle counting, per-pixel energy, and time measurement

MiniPIX SPRINTER’s compactness, performance and versatility allow for broad applicability. It is suitable for X-ray imaging, radiation monitoring and particle tracking, analysing inner structures of materials with methods such as X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence imaging, space radiation monitoring, electron microscopy and particle research.

The MiniPIX SPRINTER device controlled via a USB interface is compatible with major operating systems: MS Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The software PIXet Pro for detector operation, offering comprehensive functionality and ease of use, is supplied with the device.

Noisless & fast electron microscopy

Do you need to determine the material composition of your sample? Minerals, alloys, polymers, electronics, batteries, or pigments? Our cameras are based on cutting-edge single X-ray photon counting sensors, and each detected photon is processed individually. This approach also allows measuring the wavelength of photons. It brings unprecedented image quality and new possibilities, such as material-sensitive X-ray imaging. Moreover, our detectors enable fast and compact X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Crystallography solutions. XRD sample analysis is performed up to an order of magnitude faster than conventional systems. Spectral sensitivity provides a unique ability to inspect the sample surface and its interior (Energy dispersive XRD).

Neutron imaging

ADVACAM offers cameras and solutions for multiple other applications, such as electron microscopy, crystallography, neutron imaging, localization of sources of ionizing radiation, charged particle tracking, and dosimetry for cancer therapy. In addition, many cameras are being used in basic research, such as at CERN's LHC accelerator, and for education on radiation and its properties in schools and universities.

We have many references of implementing our cameras.
