X-ray cameras utilize x-ray imaging to support a variety of imaging and spectroscopy applications including clinical diagnostics, environmental testing, chemical analysis, forensics, food testing, materials research, microscopy, and pharmaceutical science. An X-ray camera is distinguished by various imaging detectors that generate the optical images. One factor to consider when purchasing an X-ray camera is the level of X-ray radiation you are imaging. Due to the invasive nature of X-rays on biological systems, low dose x-ray cameras are preferred and utilize CCD or CMOS image detectors. CCD detectors directly absorb X-rays and have very sensitive detection capabilities. CMOS image detectors are capable of generating smaller image details at higher resolutions. Additional key considerations for X-ray cameras are sensitivity, speed, vacuum compatibility, and imaging resolution.

| Description | Andor’s iKon-M X-ray CCD cameras are designed to offer high-performance solutions to your direct detection X-ray needs, and come in two variants: DO and DY. The DO variant interfaces easily with vacuum chambers, whereas the DY variant is a ‘stand-alone’ camera with beryllium input window. The Andor’s iKon-M X-ray CCD cameras are designed to offer high-performance solutions to your direct detection X-ray needs, and come in two variants: DO and DY. The DO variant interfaces easily with vacuum chambers, whereas the DY variant is a ‘stand-alone’ camera with beryllium input window. The systems offer very low read noise floor, high QE across the X-ray, XUV and EUV range, and boast negligible dark current with thermoelectric cooling to as low as -100ºC. The 1024 x 1024 array with 13 µm square pixels provides both high resolution and high dynamic range. iKon-M combines kHz readout for lowest noise floor and multi-MHz readout for faster frame rates, all through a convenient USB 2.0 interface.
