PIXcel3D
The first detector to bring 0D-1D-2D and 3D data to your diffractometer
The PIXcel3D is a unique 2D solid-state hybrid pixel detector. Each pixel is 55 microns x 55 microns and the detector array is 256 x 256 pixels. The detector, now based on Medipix3 technology, brings unrivalled signal to noise with its point spread function of one pixel and multiple energy discrimination levels.
Overview
The first detector to bring 0D-1D-2D and 3D data to your diffractometer
The PIXcel3D is a unique 2D solid-state hybrid pixel x-ray detector. Each pixel is 55 microns x 55 microns and the detector array is 256 x 256 pixels. The detector, now based on Medipix3 technology, brings unrivalled signal to noise with its point spread function of one pixel and multiple energy discrimination levels.
Medipix3 technology brings:
- An increase in range of detection energies from Cr to Cu
- Improved energy resolution
- Increased linearity range
- Improved detection efficiency
- Documented (published) radiation hardness studies
