PIXIS-XOHigh-Performance, Low-Noise Cameras

PIXIS XO photo

PIXIS-XO highly sensitive, thermoelectrically cooled cameras utilize various back-illuminated CCDs without antireflective coating for direct detection of x-rays. A rotatable ConFlat flange with a high-vacuum-seal design make these cameras well suited for UHV applications.

  • ~30 eV to ~20 keV x-ray sensitivity
  • CCDs of varying sizes without antireflective coating
  • Rotatable ConFlat flange design

Key Features

Ultimate X-Ray Imaging Capability

The PIXIS-XO offers high x-ray sensitivity over the 30 eV to 20 keV range.

Rotatable ConFlat Design with X-Ray Sensitivity

The rotatable ConFlat design offered by the PIXIS-XO delivers flexibility to align CCD x-axis to the image or spectral axis.

Combining this with sensitivity in the ~30 eV – 20 keV x-ray energy range the PIXIS-XO is able to cover a wide variety of applications.

Ultimate Flexibility

Dual-amplifier readout design allows for optimization of system performance, with the lowest possible read noise, highest dynamic range and best linearity.

Lightfield Graph

Powered by LightField Software

Powerful and intuitive software with built-in math engine allows for the complete control of cameras and spectrographs, with real-time image analysis and spectral data.

LightField software provides seamless integration of hardware controls and direct data acquisition into programmes such as National Instruments’ LabVIEW® and MathWorks’ MATLAB®. This software also fully supports IntelliCal automated wavelength and intensity calibration.

The PIXIS-XO can also be fully controlled by PICAM SDK, eliminating any overhead that can occur when communicating through other development environments.
