Product description

Advanced High-Speed Spectral Imaging Camera modified for high energies

The AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad combines several benefits: Electronics placed aside in sensitive areas, minimum amount of material behind sensors, the completely free path for primary X-ray beam passing through the hole, or vacuum compatibility. It uses a single USB3.0 interface providing synchronized operation of all four Timepix3 chips.

The Flex solution removes the solid housing to adapt the detector for integration into large industrial systems. The AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad Flex detector is connected via USB interface. It is controlled in PIXet Pro software, which is provided for free. It runs on all major operating systems (MS Windows, Mac OS and LINUX). API integration is possible for other programmes.

AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad is the world’s first photon-counting detector that operates in list mode. This means every radiation hit is recorded into a continuous data stream. The device measures each detected quanta’s position, energy, and time-of-arrival.

The detector provides ultra-fast sparse data readout able to acquire up to 38 million pixel hits per second.

The AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad can be used in a variety of applications, such as:

Energy-resolved radiography (X-rays, neutrons, ions)
Particle tracking
Time-of-flight imaging
Compton camera
Spectroscopic X-ray imaging
Crystallography (SAXS, XRD)
Electron Microscopy
The sensors can be adapted for neutron imaging by depositing the converter layer (6LiF).

Recording individual hits together with advanced data processing allows imaging at super spatial resolution. It can reach units of microns (X-rays) or even sub-micrometric levels (ions).

Ore quality

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.
