WidePIX DYNAMIC Industry Photon-Counting X-ray Detector
A multi-chip industrial scanner and imaging detector that provides material-sensitive "color radiography", introducing superior contrast and dynamic range. Based on the combination of the photon-counting chip Timepix2 and a silicon sensor.
Model: WidePIX DYNAMIC Industry
Brand: Advacam
Introduction
The WidePIX DYNAMIC Industry series combines outstanding stability and contrast with a high frame rate, enabling fast, high-detail imaging.
Among our full product range, this photon-counting camera delivers the highest contrast in X-ray imaging. With a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 2000, frame rates up to 500 frames per second (depending on the operating mode, see the specification table), excellent bit depth, and high resolution—with individual pixel sizes at the micron level—these features make it ideal for imaging both low- and high-attenuation X-ray materials. The device can detect radiation energies as low as 3 keV.
The WidePIX DYNAMIC series is equipped with Timepix2 chips, each containing an array of 65,000 square pixels with a 55-micron pixel pitch. The device supports multiple operating modes (14-bit counting, 10-bit counting, 4-bit counting, and 14-bit energy mode) with selectable counting bit depth. The chip arrays are nearly seamlessly tiled, with the entire imaging area active and no visible dead zones; the tiling gap is less than 4 pixels.
This product offers greater operational stability and can handle inspection scenarios that existing MPX3 chip-based detectors cannot achieve due to insufficient contrast, such as imaging of voids and microcracks, as well as analysis of fiber-to-resin ratios. TPX2 chip-based detectors can detect energies as low as approximately 3 keV, providing higher sensitivity.
The camera achieves frame rates up to 500 frames per second. With its ability to directly acquire spectral information, material-discriminating X-ray imaging can be performed in a single scan. WidePIX DYNAMIC X-ray cameras are available in various sizes and configurations to meet diverse customization needs.
Industrial-grade optimized design forms the core advantage of the product:
Durability: The reinforced structure and optimized electronic components ensure stable operation in continuous industrial production processes.
Universal integration: The compact body is smaller and easier to handle, allowing convenient installation in confined equipment spaces.
Simplified connectivity: A single Ethernet cable simultaneously transmits data and power, enabling true plug-and-play operation.
Adaptability to harsh environments: Optimized vibration resistance ensures long-term stable operation under complex working conditions.
Upgraded water-cooling interface: Redesigned for industrial scenarios, the water-cooling interface can be connected from the front or side of the detector, offering greater flexibility and convenience in installation and maintenance.
General Parameters
Typical Applications
Material analysis and crystallography research based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and wide-angle/small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS/SAXS).The detector captures the complete energy spectrum information of each particle, while the large field-of-view design enables faster analysis of larger sample volumes.
Soft-tissue medical X-ray imaging, such as tumor detection and histological examination.
Non-destructive testing: High-contrast imaging offers significant advantages in inspecting composite material structures and detecting defects in metal and alloy products, including porosity, microcracks, and weld imperfections.
