AXIS-SXR-60: Very Large-Area Soft X-ray sCMOS camera

AXIS-SXR-60 is a new soft x-ray sCMOS camera for measurements from 20 eV to 2 keV. This camera was developed in collaboration with the detector group and SEXTANTS team of SOLEIL Synchrotron (France). It is based on a 61×61 mm backside illuminated scientific CMOS which is able to acquire low noise 36 Mpix images with a frame rate up to 26 Hz through its optical link.

It is built to sit entirely under vacuum.

The mechanics have been designed to allow the user to bring the detector surface as very close to the sample under study.

As for software, a generic control application is provided. A SDK and a Tango device are also available.
