Product description
The WidePIX DYNAMIC Industry series combines exceptional stability and contrast with a high frame rate for fast and detailed imaging.
This photon-counting camera offers the highest contrast for X-ray imaging of all our products. It features a signal to noise ratio of over 2,000, frame rate of up to 170 fps and a high resolution – ech pixel is just μm. These properties make it the best choice for imaging of both low and high-X-ray attenuating materials. It can detect energies as low as 3 keV.
The WidePIX DYNAMIC Industry detectors are suited for:
- Material analysis and crystallography using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS/SAXS), as the detector collects fully spectral information about every particle. The large field-of-view allows for faster evaluation of a higher volume of samples.
- Medical X-ray imaging of soft tissues, for example, tumour detection and histology
- Non-destructive testing – the high contrast imaging is especially beneficial for controlling composite structures or uncovering defects in metal and alloy products, such as porosity, microcracks, or faulty welds
The WidePIX DYNAMIC line features a Timepix2 chips, each with a matrix of 65k square pixels of 55 μm pitch. They offer several operation modes (counts 14 bits, counts 10 bits and energy 14 bits) and selectable counter depths. The array of chips is almost gapless, the entire imaging area is fully sensitive without significant dead zones. The gap size is lower than 4 pixels.
More stable operation covers segment where current MPX3 based detectors fail because of insufficient contrast, such as imaging porosity, microcracks, or fibre to resin ratio. TPX2 based detector should have higher sensitivity due to lower minimal detectable energy (about 3 keV).
The cameras offer speed up to 170 frames per second. Thanks to its ability to collect spectral information directly, it allows for material-sensitive X-ray imaging in a single scan. The WidePIX DYNAMIC X-ray camera is available in multiple sizes and configurations to meet your specific needs.
The industrial optimization of WidePIX sets it apart:
- Durability – reinforced construction and electronics optimized for stable operation in continuous industrial workflows.
- Universal integration – compact form factor makes it smaller, easier to handle, and simple to install into tight machine spaces.
- Simplified connectivity – one Ethernet cable delivers both data and power, providing a true plug-and-play experience.
- Harsh environment readiness – improved optimalization for vibration resistance and stable long-term performance in demanding setups.
- Upgraded water-cooling interface – redesigned for industrial convenience, accessible either from the front or from the sides of the detector, enabling flexible installation and maintenance.
