Hamamatsu Photonics' new large area flat panel CMOS sensor for X-ray imaging applications, the C9728DK, is an 'active pixel CMOS' image sensor. Each separate Megapixel in 1056 x 1056 image format has an individual amplifier that provides extremely low noise readout, with the noise being at least six times lower than existing conventional passive type CMOS flat panel sensors, according to the company.
Utilising a correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit and a direct deposition (DD) columnar structure CsI scintillator, the C9728DK creates high quality true 14-bit digital video signals. The specific DD CsI scintillator construction eliminates focusing lenses and tapered fibre-optics associated with the use of CCD sensors, which can cause image distortion and peeling problems in the field.
The new sensor is also suitable for X-ray diffraction pattern imaging and other scientific X-ray imaging requiring very low noise with realtime image quality. The unit comes with USB2.0 interface for ease of operation and demonstration software with code and library for USB2.0 is supplied with the sensor.
Hamamatsu also supplies a range of sealed and open type microfocus X-ray sources for high resolution X-ray imaging applications.
