ADVACAM S.r.o. products

AdvaPIX TPX3 is the world’s first radiation imaging detector that operates in a list mode. This means every radiation hit is recorded into a continuous data stream. The device measures each detected quanta’s position, energy, and time-of-arrival. The detector has an array of 256×256 spectrometers (pixels) with Si or CdTe sensors. Each pixel records a spectrum of incoming events. The measured time stamp also allows checking for coincident events or charge sharing between pixels. This entirely new approach opens new horizons for ionizing radiation detection. The camera module contains CERN’s Timepix3 device with ultra-fast sparse data readout to acquire up to 38 million pixel hits per second. The module uses a USB 3.0 communication channel, which assures a fast read-out of the system.

MiniPIX EDU is a miniaturized USB camera designed and priced for educational use. It brings the latest radiation imaging technology to classrooms and lets students discover the invisible world of ionizing radiation surrounding us. NASA uses the same technology in space to monitor the radiation received by the astronauts. Students can explore the origin of different types of radiation particles and see how radioactive isotopes migrate in nature and artificial environments, such as houses, cities, or industrial areas. MiniPIX EDU can record minimal levels of radioactivity that are present everywhere around us. Students can visualize the radioactivity of any standard material or object. They can explore variations of the air radioactivity during the day, hunt for cosmic muons and check their directions, and see how altitude affects the presence of radiation types. They can even prepare their own (safe) radioactive source and construct a shield against the radiation it emits. They can check the laws of radioactive decay. Students can directly observe how different radiation types interact with matter and what happens then. 

COMPACT, ADVANCED, HIGH-SPEED SINGLE-PHOTON COUNTING CAMERA FOR VERSATILE IMAGING AND PARTICLE TRACKING SOLUTIONS WITH TIMEPIX2 CHIP. A brand new miniaturized, low-power radiation camera with a single Timepix2 chip. The device can be equipped with a sensor of your choice, commonly a 300 μm thick silicon. The Timepix2 detector is an upgrade from its well-known predecessor, Timepix. Unique to the MiniPIX TPX2 camera is its high frame rate – it can read up to 99 frames per second, setting a new standard in radiation detection technology. The compact device measures a mere 80 x 21 x 14mm and weighs just 41 grams. The device boasts the best energy resolution for XRF & XRD, has low power consumption, and is capable of high energetic particle tracking for space applications, along with proven stability for imaging.

INDUSTRIAL SPECTRAL SCANNER CAMERA WITH A LARGE AREA IMAGING DETECTOR. The large area imaging detector WidePIX L2(1)x5 – MPX3 with a resolution of 512 (256) x 1280 pixels is composed of Medipix3 hybrid detector electronics tiles. Each tile (256 x 256 pixels) is attached to a silicon or CdTe sensor. Therefore, the whole area of the WIDEPIX L2(1)x5 – MPX3 device is fully sensitive, and there are no gaps between sensor tiles. Each pixel has two integrated 12-bit digital counters and two energy discrimination thresholds. The counters store number of registered particles, e.g., X-ray photons, with energy above the appropriate threshold. Both counters can be joined to a single 24-bit counter, providing an enhanced dynamic range.

The large area imaging detector WIDEPIX L2(1)x10 – MPX3 with a resolution of 512 (256) x 2560 pixels is composed of Medipix3 hybrid detector electronics tiles. Each tile (256 x 256 pixels) is attached to a silicon or CdTe sensor. Therefore, the whole area of the WIDEPIX L2(1)x10 – MPX3 device is fully sensitive, and there are no gaps between sensor tiles. Each pixel has two integrated 12-bit digital counters and two energy discrimination thresholds. The counters store a number of registered particles, e.g., X-ray photons, with energy above the appropriate threshold. Both counters can be joined to a single 24-bit counter, providing an enhanced dynamic range. The particle counting principle eliminates any additional noise generated by the sensor or electronic readout. It allows for acquiring X-ray images with high contrast and wide dynamic range. Therefore, even low-contrast structures such as plastic or soft tissue are easily detectable in X-ray images.
