AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad

The AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad offers is a two-chip configuration of the detector. The 28 x 14 millimeter sensitive area offers the resolution of 131,072 pixels.

Compared to the regular AdvaPIX with a single chip, this variation delivers a bigger sensitive area to collect more data in a single measurement. This layout offers the best properties for ??

The AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad offers is a square array four-chip configuration of the detector. The 28 x 28 millimeter sensitive area offers the resolution of 262,144 pixels.

Compared to the regular AdvaPIX with a single chip, as well as the two-chip Quad, this variation delivers a bigger sensitive area to collect more data in a single measurement. This layout offers the best properties for ??. It is also available with a hole in the middle to allow for higher x-ray energies.

The AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad offers is a square array four-chip configuration of the detector. The "hole" variation has an opening in the center. This is a modification for methods where the user wants to use a focused beam of high intensity, such as x-ray diffraction. The gap ensures that the sensitive area is not damaged.

The 28 x 28 millimeter array offers the resolution of 262,144 pixels. This variation delivers a bigger sensitive area to collect more data in a single measurement. This layout offers the best properties for XRD and other methods used for material analysis.
