PI-MTE3

Fully In-Vacuum for Ultimate Flexibility

Every PI-MTE3 is tested and 100% usable in-vacuum, even including the cooling and electrical cables, giving exceptional reliability for flexible camera placement within the vacuum chamber – ideal for experiments with different scattering angles.

Optimized Sensor Position

The sensor within the PI-MTE3 is positioned at the base of the camera, allowing for direct detection of ultra-low incident angles, optimal for x-ray diffraction.

The PI-MTE3 is also buttable, offering the advantage of a large sensor area while providing space for the removal of any primary beam.

Soft X-Ray Energy Sensitivity

With sensitivity in the X-ray energy range from 10 eV to 30 keV, the PI-MTE3 is well suited for a wide variety of soft x-ray spectroscopy and imaging applications, such as X-ray microscopy, X-ray plasma diagnostics and EUV lithography.

Large Format Sensors

The PI-MTE3 is equipped with large-format, back-illuminated sensors with a 2048 x 2048 or 4096 x 4096 resolution CCD sensor options. Both sensors cover the 10 eV to 30 keV range, with a peak quantum efficiency of >95%, owing to the high sensitivity of the PI-MTE3.

Highest Frame Rates

With approximately 3 full fps at 2k x 2k resolution, the PI-MTE3 offers up to 7 – 10x higher resolution than previous generations. Through efficient dissipation of heat from the electronics, due to valuable thermal design, continuous operation of the PI-MTE3 can be achieved without the need to shut down the camera periodically.

Customizable Performance

Flexible multiple-readout-port design allows the PI-MTE3 to capture even ultrafast events. With 4-port, 2-port or 1-port readout options, both custom sensor readout and kinetic readout can be achieved.

The PI-MTE3 delivers 3.2 fps at 16 MHz, with complete triggering support and independent optimization clocking for each port combination.
