What is xiRAY?

We present our cutting-edge X-ray imaging system, meticulously designed to meet the demands of diverse scientific X-ray applications, such as high-resolution micro-CT. Equipped with the latest sCMOS and CMOS sensors (Gpixel, Sony) that range in resolution from 15 to 151 Mpix.
Radiation sensitivity is a key consideration in scientific imaging, therefore our system offers unparalleled flexibility in this regard by allowing users to adjust radiation sensitivity and energy ranges by employing a set of scintillator materials (GadOx:Eu, CSI) and various fiber optical plates (FOP) with different thicknesses.
The optical configuration of our imaging system is equally versatile, offering both straight optics (FOP) and tapers (FOT) to accommodate various fields of view (FOV), providing a seamless integration into a myriad of scientific investigations. Altogether tailored scintillator material based on your experiment's requirements/demands will further enhance the precision and versatility of the X-ray imaging solution.

(1) The production of the onsemi CCD sensors has been discontinued, if you are looking for alternatives or have any further questions, please contact our sales team.
(2) For lower cooling temperatures, different scintillators, FOP or sensor versions - please contact our sales team.
(3) The actual physical pixel size does not change, but it is magnified by the fiber optic taper - FOT. Thus, the pixel values can be perceived as "effective pixel size".
(4) The actual physical sensor size does not change, but it is magnified by the fiber optic taper - FOT. Thus, the sensor values can be perceived as "effective sensor area".

XIMEA model names are made up of short codes that describe key characteristics of a camera. The example below (MX377XR-GP-F1-FA-CSI) shows how a typical name is put together, and the table explains the codes used in this camera family. It is meant as a quick guide: individual models may deviate, so the datasheet remains the binding reference.

¹ Approximate resolution in steps of 0.1 megapixels, 3 or 4 digits (e.g. 37.7 MP = 377). Some models deviate.

² A name can contain several option codes, and their order can vary between models. Further options are available on request.
