Dhyana XF Series Open-Front Soft X-ray sCMOS Camera, ~100% QE, 2K to 6K
Dhyana XFDesign Tools
Open-front BSI sCMOS cameras on standard CF flanges for direct detection of soft X-ray and EUV photons.
The Dhyana XF series are cooled, high-speed sCMOS cameras that mount on a vacuum chamber through a standard CF flange, exposing a back-illuminated sensor without anti-reflection coating directly to the beam. A high-vacuum seal and vacuum-compatible materials allow use down to 10⁻⁷ Pa, and the sensors reach a QE close to 100% between 80 and 1000 eV for soft X-ray, EUV and VUV detection. The series shares one hardware platform across 2K, 4K and 6K sensor formats.
Key Features
- Four sensor variants: XF95 (2048 × 2048, 11 µm), XF400BSI (2048 × 2048, 6.5 µm), XF4040BSI (4096 × 4096, 9 µm) and 6060BSI (6144 × 6144, 10 µm)
- BSI sensors without anti-reflection coating: ~100% QE from 80 to 1000 eV, response from 200 to 1100 nm, and resistance to radiation damage in soft X-ray use
- Rotatable flange aligns the sensor x-axis with the image or spectral axis; pixel (0,0) is marked on the housing; flange and sensor position can be customized
- DN100CF (XF95, XF400BSI) or DN160CF (XF4040BSI) flange; vacuum compatible to 10⁻⁷ Pa
- Frame rates up to 100 fps (XF400BSI, CameraLink), 48 fps (XF95) and 16.5 fps (XF4040BSI); the 6060BSI uses CoaXPress 2.0
- Air or liquid cooling; dark current down to 0.02 e⁻/pixel/s at -40°C chip temperature (XF4040BSI)
- Hardware and software triggering via SMA; support for LabVIEW, MATLAB and EPICS
Typical Applications
- Fourier transform holography (FTH)
- Soft X-ray ptychography
- Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)
- High-harmonic generation (HHG) EUV detection
