ADVACAM’s partner company, Radalytica, recently completed the installation of its robotic imaging system Radalyx into the phenotyping platform of Czech company Photon Systems Instruments (PSI), which will use it to study the internal structure of plants. Thanks to the robotic arms and...

The European Commission’s Innovation Radar has ranked ADVACAM among key innovators within the European X-Mine project, which promises a more efficient and environmentally friendly mining industry. On 20 July, ADVACAM was included among the key innovators by the Innovation Radar of the...

An Interview with Daniel Parcerisas Brossa, Co-founder of the ADMIRA Project and Head of the Science Department at Col·legi Sagrada Família Gavà Daniel Parcerisas Brossa, Co-founder of the ADMIRA Project and Head of the Science Department at Col·legi Sagrada Família Gavà. At ADVACAM,...

An instant development of new imaging structures in ADVACAM results in a new line of detectors optimized for XRD, SAXS, or similar tasks where a primary pencil beam of radiation needs to pass through the detector without interaction. For this purpose, we developed a Quad detector with a monolithic...

The respected, beautiful and very classical Museum of Natural History in Vienna is setting up the new stand for on-line visualization of natural radiation. The dinosaurs, meteorites, 29000-year-old Venus, and dozens of other objects are displayed in one of the most beautiful buildings...

The MiniPIX TPX3 based ultra/compact gamma camera introduced in the previous article by Dr. Jan Jakubek was tested with several different gamma emitting isotopes. Here we show the result of one experiment with three sources: Iodine I-131 (gamma line at 364 keV),Sodium Na-22 (annihilation gamma...

The traditional XRD method uses a monochromatic X-ray beam with energy insensitive detectors resulting in large and slow apparatus. The spectral sensitivity of every pixel in AdvaPIX TPX3 camera with high-resolution Timepix3 chip enables polychromatic X-ray beam to be used for...

The effort of several last months resulted in our new small family member MiniPIX TPX3. It is a palmtop size photon-counting radiation imager or particle tracker. For each ionizing particle (e.g X-ray photon) it digitally registers its position, energy, time of arrival, and track shape – basically...

The miniaturized MiniPIX TPX3 radiation imaging detector is designed with a maximal emphasis on versatility. Several of these devices can be combined into a larger multi-detector system either next to each other (to cover larger are or wider solid angle) or in layers on top of each other. This...

The miniature particle tracking and imaging detectors of ADVACAM such as MiniPIX can record very small levels of radioactivity which is present everywhere: In the air, you breathe, in the water you drink, in the food, you eat and, yes, even in your own body. NASA uses 7 of these units on board...
