Achieve better results in particle tracking with the new generation of AdvaPIX MAGIC.
AdvaPIX MAGIC (formerly known as AdvaPIX TPX3) is a precise and fast radiation particle-tracking detector powered by the CERN-developed Timepix3 chip. As the world’s first photon-counting detector operating in a purely data-driven mode, it continuously streams data, recording the exact position, energy, and time-of-arrival of every single radiation hit.
Why Choose AdvaPIX MAGIC?
- Ultra-Fast Readout: Acquire up to 38 million pixel hits per second without losing vital data.
- Unmatched Precision: Features an exceptional 1.6 ns time resolution and an array of 256×256 independent spectrometers (pixels) with a 55 μm pitch.
- Super Spatial Resolution: Achieve imaging resolutions reaching units of microns for X-rays, or even sub-micrometric levels for ions.
- Plug & Play Simplicity: The compact 503 g module utilizes a USB 3.0 (Super-Speed) connection and includes the powerful PIXet Pro software for seamless operation, data collection, and analysis.
Customizable Sensor Layers for Your Unique Needs
The detector array can be equipped with either Silicon (Si) or Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) sensors, perfectly adapting to your specific energy ranges and applications
- Silicon 100 µm: Ideal for photons in the 3 – 20 keV range, making it perfect for life sciences, biomedical imaging, and very low energy particle tracking.
- Silicon 300 µm: Optimal for 5 – 40 keV photons, commonly used in space environment research, cultural-heritage analysis, and evaluating light to medium-density material.
- Silicon 500 µm: Designed for 8 – 60 keV photons, serving effectively in material research, space-radiation dosimetry, and CT scanning of thicker specimens.
- CdTe 1000 µm (1 mm): Built for high-energy photons (20 –-150 keV), ensuring superior material analysis for dense structures in mining, geology, and nuclear resear
Endless Application Possibilities
From basic research at CERN’s LHC accelerator to cutting-edge breakthroughs in commercial sectors, the AdvaPIX MAGIC empowers multiple industries:
- Biomedical: Enhance cancer research and bio-mechanics with advanced energy sensitivity that allows for real-time tissue and contrast agent differentiation.
