In this image, we showcase NASA astronaut Katherine Megan McArthur aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Highlighted in a red circle at the top of the image is our MiniPIX TimePIX Radiation Monitoring Camera, a key tool designed to safeguard the astronauts and the sensitive electronic and computer systems onboard. Adjacent to the MiniPIX, you will spot a golden device; this is the original, comparatively larger, and less efficient radiation monitor of the ISS. Centre stage, circled in red, stands the robust HERA Radiation Monitor - a product of NASA's ingenuity, equipped with ADVACAM's Single-photon counting chip. Image courtesy of NASA

The picture shows an experimental Flash proton beam measurement at OncoRay Clinique in Dresden. A so-called „water phantom“ (a box filled with water) equipped with a remotely controlled positioning system is used for calibration before each treatment day in the facility. Advacam used the phantom to characterize stray radiation of Flash proton beam by a specifically modified detector, based on MiniPIX Timepix3 Flex architecture equipped with a silicon sensor.

This image shows a slow-motion recording of a mouse's heartbeat. The rodent's heart beats at a rate of 670 beats per minute, ten times faster than a human heart. The recording was made with our AdvaPIX detector at a rate of 1000 frames per second. Bone tissue was suppressed using post-processing to make the heart visible even behind the rib cage. In the video, you can observe how the individual chambers and atria of the heart darken or lighten, which is the actual movement of blood inside the organ. In this case, no contrast agent was used.

There are two outputs of our single-particle camera. On the left, there's an image showcasing anatomic features: The veins or arteries of mouse lungs clearly. The right image employs a detector to visualize a specific micro-structure: The lung's alveoli, allowing for the observation of their distribution within the organ anatomy. The X-ray imaging system utilized in this study merges a microfocus X-ray tube with a large-area photon counting detector, WidePIX 5X10, having a resolution of 2560 x 1280 pixels with a pitch of 55 µm.

ADVACAM Ore quality identification: Multiple X-ray transmission images are taken with different energy sensitivity (threshold). Each transmission scan is converted to an equivalent thickness of reference material (e.g., aluminum). Different materials in a sample show different spectral dependencies. If the actual imaged material equals the reference one, then both images show the same equivalent thickness.
