X-Ray Cameras

PIXIS-XO

PIXIS-XO Direct Detection Cameras

The advanced high-sensitivity, thermoelectrically cooled family of PIXIS-XO camera systems is designed with special back-illuminated CCDs without anti-reflection coating for direct imaging of very low energy X-rays (< 30 eV). The rotatable conflat flange design provides ultra-high vacuum hard metal seals with ability to align the CCD. When used with the software-programmable, high-capacity, or high-sensitivity amplifier, this system effectively delivers X-ray photon counting capabilities with up to 16-bit dynamic range. The thermoelectrically air cooled option provides maintenance-free operation where as water cooled option provides vibration-free operation.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Direct Soft X-ray Imaging (<30 eV to ~ 10 keV)
  • Back-illuminated CCD without AR coating
  • 2048 x 2048 pixel CCD camera with 27.6 x 27.6 mm image available
  • X-ray photon counting capability
  • Deep-vacuum open nose-interface (VON)
  • Rotatable ConFlat® flange with hard vacuum seal for TE cooled cameras
  • High sensitivity, high dynamic range
  • USB2.0 plug-n-play interface with optional Fiber Optic Extender Kit for USB 2.0 cameras for remote operation

PI-SX

PI-SX Direct Detection Camera

The advanced high-sensitivity, thermoelectrically or liquid nitrogen cooled of PI-SX camera system comes equipped with special back-illuminated CCDs without anti-reflection coating for direct imaging of very low energy X-rays (< 30 eV). The rotatable conflat flange design provides ultra-high vacuum hard metal seals with ability to align the CCD. When used with the software-programmable, high-capacity, or high-sensitivity amplifier, PI-SX effectively delivers X-ray photon counting capabilities with up to 16-bit dynamic range. The thermoelectrically cooled option provides maintenance-free operation, whereas the LN-cooled option provides extremely low dark current for long exposures.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Direct Soft X-ray Imaging (<30 eV to ~ 10 keV)
  • Back-illuminated CCD without AR coating
  • 1340 x 1300 pixel CCD camera with 26.8 x 26.0 mm image
  • X-ray photon counting capability
  • Deep-vacuum open nose-interface (VON)
  • Rotatable ConFlat® flange (6.0 and 4.5 inch) with hard vacuum seal for TE cooled cameras
  • 6.0 inch rotatable Conflat® flange for liquid nitrogen cooled cameras
  • High sensitivity, high dynamic range
  • Thermo electric and liquid nitrogen cooling option
  • USB2.0 plug-n-play interface with optional fiber optic data interface kit for remote operation
