Advacam is a technology company based in the Czech Republic, producing radiation imaging pixel detectors and partical tracking cameras for various industries, including space dosimetry, material analysis, electron microscopy, and non-distractive testing. It is a spin-off of the Institute of Technical and Experimental Physics of Czech Technical University in Prague [1] and the Medipix Collaboration based at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). [2] The company was founded by Jan Sohar and Jan Jakůbek [3] in 2013. [4] [5]
Advacam grew from research conducted withing the framework of scientific collaboration for high-energy physics initiated in the 1990s in the CERN. [2] The technologies of Medipix and Timepix, which are single-photon counting chips, were initially developed for the ATLAS experiment within the Large Hadron Collider. Every pixel in these devices counts each photon that reaches the detector's surface, simultaneously measuring the energy of the detected radiation. This technology enables high-contrast spectral X-ray imaging capable of differentiating between materials. [6]
Photon counting technology can be used in many fields, including commercial manufacturing and science. Advacam detectors are applied in:
Customers or users are for example NASA, ESA, Boeing, Blue Origin, [13] OneWeb [14] or Anton Paar [15]
