MiniPIX

Advacam’s MiniPIX can be equipped with pinhole, coded aperture or X-ray optics. The system can be used in imaging applications (e.g. X-ray or neutron imaging) and its ability to recognize individual particles, sort them to several groups (X-rays, electrons, neutrons, alphas etc.) and measure their energies is utilized as great advantage for radiation monitoring.

 

All the major operating systems are supported (MS Windows, Mac OS and LINUX). The advanced software, PIXET PRO used for detector operation, is provided for free. Several such devices connected to single or several computers can be operated together forming the radiation monitoring network. The whole group is accessed using advanced application allowing setting of alarm levels for different radiation types, performing data logging and calculating various statistics, protocols and charts. Such network can serve as long time monitor of environment1. Several other devices developed in IEAP CTU in Prague and produced by ADVACAM s.r.o. company can be also integrated into such monitoring network.

 

Example of the radiation monitoring network based on the first version of MiniPIX is operated in ISS (International Space Station). This network was installed by common effort of NASA, University of Houston and IEAP CTU in Prague.
