Crypix

Crypix™ is a versatile pixel-based detector employing successful Medipix2 and Timepix technology.

The single chip detector consists of an array of 256 x 256 identical pixel elements sensor with a 55 micron pitch. The Medipix2/Timepix ASIC is a high spatial, high contrast resolving CMOS pixel read-out that is coupled with a silicon sensor. Incoming radiation is directly converted into detectable electric signal and further processed by the electronics.
