Telesto | LumaCAM

A single-photon-sensitive optical detection system for neutron science. A 256x256 or 512x512 pixel array reads light from neutron scintillators and time-stamps events for neutron imaging, tomography, Bragg-edge, and reflectometry methods.

The Detectors Behind your discovery!

Designed for Precision, Performance, and Reliability

Telesto/LumaCAM observes light from neutron scintillators to support neutron scattering and radiography. Because each pixel counts and time-stamps individual photons, it records data only when illuminated, which keeps data volumes proportional to the measured signal.

Two configurations are available. Telesto Single (256x256 pixels, up to 80 million hits per second) suits neutron diffraction and imaging on standard reactor and accelerator sources. Telesto Quad (512x512 pixels, up to 320 million hits per second) suits high-flux, large-area imaging with scintillators up to 25x25 cm at sources such as ILL or ESS.
