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...

The smallest and lightest gamma camera is based on a single MiniPIX TPX3 device equipped with a 2 mm thick CdTe sensor. It makes images of the distribution of gamma sources in an environment with a very broad observation angle (in fact in all directions – even backward). Except for the image,...

The MiniPIX detector of ADVACAM visualizes individual particles of ionizing radiation. It can be nicely used for radiation monitoring with the identification of radiation types. We have performed simple experiments showing the temporal change of radiation intensity and composition in a normal...

Hawkeye Spectral Imaging supplies the ADVACAM technology developed by CERN and used in space by NASA affordable for students! It brings modern nuclear technology of radiation imaging detectors to the classrooms and lets students discover the invisible world of ionizing radiation surrounding us. Laws...

The popular MiniPIX TPX3 device developed by ADVACAM can be integrated into the systems of our partners. The fancy metallic box of standard MiniPIX TPX3 is not needed in such cases. The new MiniPIX TPX3 flex module has been developed for such a purpose. These modules are very compact and easy...

The AdvaPIX TPX3 Quad presents a new line of ADVACAM detectors optimized for XRD, SAXS, or similar tasks where a primary pencil beam of radiation passes through the detector without interaction. For this purpose, we developed a Quad detector with a monolithic sensor with a central hole (the device...

Introduction We describe the application of photon-counting detectors for online X-ray scanning where the object(s) continuously move along the imaging detector. The detector is in a form of a line placed perpendicularly to the direction of the object’s movement. The detector then generates...

Introduction This article describes the applicability of high resolution and sensitivity detectors to material resolving X-ray imaging. Regular X-ray images are black and white, i.e. show only variations in density and thickness of materials. Thin, high density, heavy material can appear at the...
