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 standalone USB 2.0 iKon-M SY 934 series features a high-QE, back-illuminated sensor for direct X-ray detection. A convenient Berylium foil window blocks visible wavelengths with minimal ‘Beam Hardening’ of X-ray energies giving a direct detection energy range from < 2.5 keV to > Andor’s standalone USB 2.0 iKon-M SY 934 series features a high-QE, back-illuminated sensor for direct X-ray detection. A convenient Berylium foil window blocks visible wavelengths with minimal ‘Beam Hardening’ of X-ray energies giving a direct detection energy range from < 2.5 keV to > 20keV.
This 1024 x 1024 sensor array with 13 x 13 µm pixels offers high dynamic range and high spatial resolution. Seamless software selection of a range of kHz and Multi-MHz readout speeds provide exceptionally low readout noise and faster frame rates respectively.
Variable readout rates enable data readout at up to 5 Megahertz, through the plug and play USB interface.
The camera maintains cooling options down to -100°C, resulting in negligible dark current and provides unrivalled performance for imaging applications. The camera comes with Andor’s UltraVac™ technology providing a worry free 5 year vacuum warranty as standard...
