Product description

Miniaturized and low-power radiation camera with state of the art Timepix3 chip

The MiniPIX MAGIC detector is aquipped with Timepix3 chip, which is position, energy, and time-sensitive. This means it digitally registers its position, energy, time of arrival, and track shape of every single particle that comes in contact with the sensor. Other information can be calculated form this data, such as particle type, direction of flight, its energy, or charge.

The device collects data in pixel mode, which means each hit is read out immediately at a maximal rate of 2.3 million hit pixels per second. This makes the MiniPIX MAGIC detector ideal solution for all particle tracking aplications.

Where can you use the MiniPIX MAGIC photon-counting camera? For material analysis or radiation monitoring.

  • Spectral X-ray imaging: X-ray fluorescence imaging, X-ray radiography (low flux)
  • Crystallography: Energy dispersive XRD, SAXS, or WAXS. We can analyse even thick samples or internal structures.
  • Radiation monitoring: Particle type sorting, spectroscopy, directional sensitivity
  • Particle physics research.

The MiniPIX MAGIC detector is connected via USB cable. The device has a microUSB port. The PIXet Pro software is provided with the device – it is used to operate the detector and collect and analyse data. Plugins for advanced functions are available.

Biomedical

Cancer research, bio-mechanics, and drug testing are just a few examples of X-ray imaging contributing to biological and medical research. New photon-counting detectors represent a severe advancement to these applications compared to previously used methods. The energy sensitivity of modern cameras opens better possibilities for identifying individual types of tissue and contrast agents. That has significant consequences in various industries, for example in cancer research, where the tumor tissue can be better distinguished from the healthy one.

Material Analysis

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).

Space

Implemented on the International Space Station, NASA Artemis program, the Gateway Lunar Station or numerous satellites, our single particle detectors are revolutionizing space weather monitoring and radiation protection. Advacam's detectors ensure safer and more efficient missions. Because of their compact size and low-power consumption, these detectors excel in particle identification, energy measurement, and even determining the direction from which particles originate.
