Product description

A standard well established particle counting and tracking camera

The standard MiniPIX BASIC detector incorporates single Timepix detector (256 x 256 pixels with a pitch of 55 μm) with a sensor according to customer preference (standardly 300 μm thick silicon). It is capable of reading up to 55 frames per second (with an exposure time of 1 ms). The Timepix detector is energy sensitive, bringing a new dimension to radiographic images.

The MiniPIX BASIC 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).

Where can you use the MiniPIX BASIC photon-counting camera? For medical x-ray imaging, material analysis or radiation monitoring.

Crystallography: Energy dispersive XRD, SAXS, or WAXS. We can analyse even thick samples or internal structures
Spectral gamma-ray imaging: Scintigraphy or SPECT, radiography with isotopes
Radiation monitoring: Particle type sorting, spectroscopy, directional sensitivity
Gamma camera: When combined with extra hardware (available upon request)
Compton camera: Gamma-ray imaging based on Compton scattering with special software module for image reconstruction

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).

We have many references of implementing our cameras.
