General description
xiRAY is a family of X-ray CMOS and sCMOS cameras for extraordinary X-ray imaging
Small and compact
The xiRay cameras use various high-resolution sensors with up to 151 MPixel, bonded to a fiber optic plate or fiber taper, coupled
to a scintillator. This makes these cameras the ultimate solution for micro-tomography, medical applications and inspection suchas homeland security, manufacturing and other demanding applications.
Optimized for highest image quality and sensitivity
The use of ultra-low noise sensor technology, coupled with moderate, active TEC cooling, provides superior sensitivity and image
quality. All built into a full metal housing that guarantees stability and longevity.
Customizable
We will configure and build xiRay cameras exactly for your specific application requirements. The option set includes othersensors, interfaces, scintillators and housing designs.
