Row camera for X-ray transmission imaging with sensitive area 140×14 mm

AbstraktAbstract

The row imaging detector 10x1 with resolution of 2560x256 pixels (0.65 Mpixels) and continuously sensitive surface is composed of ten sensitive detector tiles. Each tile consists of single Timepix hybrid detector (256 x 256 pixels) with edgeless silicon sensor. The whole area of the device is fully sensitive. Each pixel has integrated digital counter which counts number of particles (e.g. X-ray photons). This particle counting principle assures noiseless detection and no added noise (integration and readout noise is zero). The noiseless detection allows getting images with very high contrast and broad dynamic range (theoretically unlimited). Therefore even low mass objects (e.g. plastic or soft tissue) are imaged with high contrast.The long row geometry is designed for sample area scanning.
