Medipix

Medipix is a family of photon counting and particle tracking pixel detectors developed by an international collaboration, hosted by CERN.Standard, single chip Medipix carrier board with USB readout.The quad board: four Medipix2 chips with one common sensor chip to have a larger area with limited dead space.Excalibur front end. Each of the three sensors has 16 chips flip chip bonded.WidePix 10x10 with resolution of 2560x2560 pixels (6.5 Mpixels) and continuously sensitive area.Biology: Tropical cockroach.Biology: Ground beetle.Non-destructive testing: Metallic composite sample.Non-destructive testing: Paper core composite sample. Medipix is a family of photon counting and particle tracking pixel detectors developed by an international collaboration, hosted by CERN. These are hybrid detectors as a semi-conductor sensor layer is bonded on to a processing electronics layer. The sensor layer is a semiconductor, such as silicon, GaAs, or CdTe in which the incident radiation makes an electron/hole cloud. The charge is then collected to pixel electrodes and via bump bonds conducted to the CMOS electronics layer.
