PIXIS-XB thermoelectrically cooled, direct-detection cameras are ideal for the energy range ~3 – 20 keV. Available with front- back-illuminated, deep-depletion arrays and a thin beryllium window sealing the vacuum unit for deep cooling. This protects the CCD and reduces background by filtering low-energy x-rays.
- ~3 – 20 keV x-ray sensitivity
- Beryllium (Be) window in vacuum chamber
- Flexible dual-amplifier readout design
Key Features
Ultimate X-Ray Imaging Capability
The PIXIS-XO offers high x-ray sensitivity over the 3-20 keV range.
Beryllium Window Design
The maintenance free Beryllium window design present within the vacuum chamber allows the PIXIS-XB to be used in a laboratory environment.
Ultimate Flexibility
Dual-ampliifer readout design allows for optimization of system performance, with the lowest possible read noise, highest dynamic range and linearity.
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-XB can also be fully controlled by PICAM SDK, eliminating any overhead that can occur when communicating through other development environments.
