CXC APERTURE Systems
Configurable pnCCD-based Colour X-Ray Camera systems with central aperture geometry and remote electronics for transmitted-beam and downstream-instrumentation setups.
CXC APERTURE Systems are complete Colour X-Ray Camera solutions designed for applications where detector positioning must be combined with a central beam path through the detector plane. The central aperture enables geometries where transmitted X-rays, beamline components, or downstream instrumentation must remain on axis.
The system uses a flex-style split architecture, with the Sensor Module separated from the Camera Electronics Module. This enables flexible placement within the experimental setup while reducing mass and footprint at the measurement position.
Each system is delivered as a complete detector instrument, including aperture Sensor Module, remote electronics, cooling infrastructure, data acquisition hardware, PNCamSuite software, and defined integration interfaces.
