A hybrid pixel X-ray detector platform for diffraction, imaging, spectroscopy, and time-resolved experiments. With 55 µm pixels, event-driven photon counting, and a choice of Si, GaAs:Cr, or CdTe sensors, it delivers high-throughput X-ray detection across synchrotron, laboratory, and industrial settings.
The Detectors Behind your discovery!
LynX is built on CERN Timepix hybrid pixel technology, with 55 µm pixels that each count individual photons. By recording only real events, it produces noise-free data and maintains high acquisition rates across demanding workflows, from synchrotron beamlines to laboratory diffractometers and industrial inspection systems.
The platform is offered as scalable Timepix3 tiles (LynX T3) and as a monolithic, gap-free Timepix4 matrix (LynX T4), and supports Si, GaAs:Cr, and CdTe sensors to match a wide energy range. Per-photon Time-of-Arrival and Time-over-Threshold enable time-resolved measurements and energy discrimination in a single acquisition.
