Sydor Keck PAD

MHz-Scale Burst-Rate X-Ray Imaging.

Developed for high-speed, direct X-Ray imaging with ultra-low noise and burst-mode acquisition. Capture up to 8 consecutive frames at rates up to 6.7MHz with single-photon sensitivity. Ideal for synchrotron beamlines, dynamic compression experiments, and ultrafast diffraction studies.

Key Benefits

  •  True MHz Burst Imaging
    Acquire 8 high-resolution frames at burst rates up to 6.7 MHz.

  • Single-Photon Sensitivity
    Low noise floor allows detection of individual X-Ray photons, critical for low-flux or high-precision measurements.

  • High Spatial Resolution
    150 μm pixel pitch across a 2×4 tiled module (512×512 effective resolution) for detailed beam or material imaging.

  • Flexible Energy Response
    Available with Si (5–20 keV) or CdTe (>20 keV) sensors to suit a wide range of tender and hard X-Ray energies.

  • Control Interface
    Ethernet-based control with Sydor DataViewer Software.  EPICS IOC available for integration into existing software control environments.
