X-ray Imaging and Dispersed Spectroscopy

XCAM X-ray imaging technology offers unparalleled choice for your scientific application. The information below is provided to give a sample of what we can offer, but we can tailor any system to your requirements. The possible options for chips scintillators, entrance windows, to name but a few components, are too varied to tabulate. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

XCAM X-ray imaging systems provide:

• High-resolution, up to 35 µm FWHM for indirect detection
• Indirect or direct detection of X-rays for optimization of the detection system response to your requirement
• Cryogen-free thermoelectric cooling, with supplementary water-cooling
• A selection of entrance windows are available for optimal transmission at your energy range of interest
• 12, 14 or 16 bit digitisation
• <5 electrons rms noise, depending on CCD type
• Full software control of your system including, readout parameters, binning and windowing modes

Images

Image taken of a moth's head taken in an X-ray microscopy configuration.

Fly's foot joint - dataset image (left) and longitudinal section through reconstructed volume (right), FOV 340 µm (approx 1.3 µm per pixel). This image was taken by CSIRO with equipment supplied by XCAM, and was published in the Journal of Microscopy, vol. 207, pt. 2, August 2002, page 94, and published with Blackwell's permission. Further information about this application, using XCAM hardware for X-ray projection microscopy, can be found on the 'Application Notes' page of this website.

This image of this CCD shows its large size - 62 mm x 28 mm.
