Spectroscopic Imaging and Elemental Analysis
Analyse spectra, select elemental lines, and visualise the spatial distribution of selected energy ranges within PNCamSuite.
PNCamSuite connects spectral and spatial analysis in one software environment. Users can inspect the summed spectrum, define regions of interest, compare selected elemental lines, and view where selected energy ranges occur across the detector image.
This page covers the spectroscopic imaging and elemental analysis tools available in PNCamSuite. It focuses on energy selection, elemental line support, region-based comparison, and false colour visualisation for CXC data.
Live spectrum and image inspection
PNCamSuite displays the live cube image together with the summed spectrum. This gives users a direct view of both spatial distribution and spectral content during acquisition.
Key Feaures
-
Live 2D cube image for spatial inspection.
-
Summed spectrum calculated from all detector pixels.
-
Energy-calibrated display when suitable gain calibration is available.
-
Log scale and normalisation options for spectrum review.
-
Live analysis during measurement setup and acquisition.
-
Consistent analysis view for live and stored data.

Spatial and energy ROI analysis
Users can define spatial and energy regions of interest directly in the PNCamSuite analysis view. This supports comparison between selected detector areas and selected spectral ranges.
Key Feaures
-
Spatial regions of interest on the 2D cube image.
-
Spectra generated from selected spatial regions.
-
Energy regions of interest defined in the spectrum.
-
Up to three spatial ROIs for parallel comparison.
-
Up to three energy ROIs for selected energy bands.
-
ROI settings that can be adjusted during analysis.
PNCamSuite spectrum view with spectra from selected spatial regions in log scale.
PNCamSuite spectrum view with spectra from selected spatial regions in linear scale.
PNCamSuite energy ROI maps for selected energy bands (linear scale).
PNCamSuite energy ROI maps for selected energy bands (log scale).
Elemental line selection and peak analysis
The periodic table tool supports fast comparison between measured peaks and expected elemental lines. Selected lines can be displayed in the spectrum and used for focused peak analysis.
Key Feaures
-
Periodic table access from the spectrum view.
-
Elemental line positions displayed in the spectrum.
-
Persistent display of selected lines of interest.
-
Fitting of selected lines within defined ROIs.
-
Peak position, integrated events, and FWHM outputs.
-
Combined spatial ROI and energy ROI peak comparison.
PNCamSuite spectrum view (linear scale) from selected spatial regions with periodic table.
PNCamSuite spectrum view (log scale) from selected spatial regions with periodic table.
PNCamSuite energy ROI maps for selected energy bands defined by periodic table (log scale).

False colour energy maps
PNCamSuite can convert selected energy ROIs into spatial images. These maps show where photons in selected energy ranges occur across the detector image.
Key Feaures
-
2D image output for each selected energy ROI.
-
Spatial distribution view for selected energy bands.
-
False colour overlay from multiple energy ROI maps.
-
Separate colour channels for selected energy ranges.
-
Visual comparison of different elemental line regions.
-
Map generation from the same spectroscopic image data.
