Product description

Miniaturized ready for integration radiation camera with a Timepix3 chip

The MiniPIX MAGIC Flex detector incorporates single Timepix3 chip (256 x 256 pixels with a pitch of 55 μm) with a Silicone or Cadmium Telluride sensor according to customer preference. Custom types such as GaAs or CZT are possible too.

The detector 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

The Flex solution removes the solid housing to adapt the detector for integration into large industrial systems. The MiniPIX MAGIC 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.

Where can you use the MiniPIX MAGIC Flex 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

Food Inspection

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.

Education

Bringing particle physics to life in the classroom. Advacam’s MiniPIX EDU device and Educational Kit are transforming the way particle physics is taught and demonstrated in educational settings. These innovative tools provide students with hands-on experience in observing and analyzing particle interactions, making complex concepts more accessible and engaging. With the MiniPIX EDU’s user-friendly interface and portable design, teachers can easily incorporate real-world demonstrations into their lessons.

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.
