Model MiniPIX TPX2 -Compact, Advanced, High-Speed Single-Photon Counting Camera
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.
Main features: configuration with positive and negative semiconductor sensors, single-energy threshold, four multipurpose digital counters per pixel, many modes of operation including particle counting, per-pixel energy and time measurement, continuous read/write of frames.Space radiation monitors.
Its compactness, performance and versatility allow for broad applicability:
- Space radiation monitors
- Electron microscopy
- X-ray diffraction and X-ray radiography
- Science and education
- Gamma and Compton cameras
The energy-sensitive Timepix2 detector not only gives a new dimension to radiographic images but also introduces an innovative measurement modality – the adaptive gain. Tailored to enhance performance in high-intensity scenarios, adaptive gain expands the device’s dynamic range, augmenting its versatility and potency for radiation detection tasks.
The MiniPIX TPX2 is controlled via a USB 2.0 interface and is seamlessly compatible with popular operating systems such as MS Windows, Mac OS, and LINUX. Included in the package is PIXET PRO software, designed for detector operation.
