• Fiber Optic The PIXIS-XF fiberoptic tapers are bonded to the face of the CCD arrays with Teledyne Princeton Instruments' fiberoptic-coupling technology. The direct bonding to the face of the array eliminates the need for an intermediate fiberoptic faceplate or an oil layer between surfaces, thereby increasing sensitivity. - Page 17 Chapter 2 PIXIS-XF Camera System • Air-cooled cameras contain an internal fan. Its purpose is to: — Remove heat from the Peltier device that cools the CCD array, and — Cool the electronics. An internal Peltier device directly cools the cold finger on which the CCD is mounted.

Page 37: Operation
Chapter 5: Operation Once the PIXIS-XF system has been set up, camera operation is basically straightforward. In most applications you simply establish optimum performance using the Focus mode (e.g., in WinX/32,) set the target detector temperature, wait until the temperature has stabilized at the set temperature and then do actual data acquisition in the Acquire mode. -
Page 38: System On/Off Sequences
If the application software is opened and the PIXIS-XF is not powered on, many of the functions will be disabled and you will only be able to retrieve and examine previously acquired and stored data. You must close the application software, power the camera on, and reopen the application software before you can set up experiments and acquire new data. -

This section provide step-by-step information about verifying the operation of your PIXIS-XF system. The intent of this simple procedure is to help you gain basic familiarity with the operation of your system and to show that it is functioning properly. The procedure does not require an X-ray source. - Page 40 • Camera Temperature (Setup Detector Temperature…) -40°C for air-cooled or liquid-cooled PIXIS-XF:1024. The temperature should drop steadily, typically reaching the programmed temperature in about 15 minutes. When the array temperature reaches the programmed temperature, the Detector Temperature dialog will report that the temperature is LOCKED.

Page 41: Figure 5-2: Typical Winview/32 First Light Acquired Data
Chapter 5 Operation Figure 5-2: Typical WinView/32 First Light Acquired Data Because the time to acquire and read out an image varies directly with the size of the CCD, the observed frame rate will vary greatly depending on the CCD installed. With a short exposure time, it is not uncommon for the frame readout time to be significantly longer than the exposure time. -

PIXIS-XF System Manual Issue 5 LightField First Light This section provides step-by-step information about acquiring an image in LightField for the first time. The intent of this procedure is to help you gain basic familiarity with the operation of your system and to show that it is functioning properly. Once basic familiarity has been established, then operation with other operating configurations, ones with more complex timing modes, can be performed. -

Page 45: Exposure And Signal
SHUTTER {Shutter Open} signal on the LOGIC OUT connector on the rear of the PIXIS-XF can be used to control a customer-supplied external X-ray shutter. By using one of the signals to synchronize the shutter operation with exposure, the CCD can be read out in darkness. -
Page 46: Ccd Temperature
PIXIS-XF System Manual Issue 5 5.4.3 CCD Temperature As stated before, lowering the temperature of the CCD will generally enhance the quality of the acquired signal. • When WinX/32 is the controlling software, temperature control is done via the Detector Temperature dialog accessed from the Setup menu. See Figure 5-7. -
Page 47: Dark Charge
~2 for every 6-7 degree reduction in temperature. In the case of cameras such as the PIXIS-XF cameras, which have MPP type arrays, the average dark charge is extremely small. However, the dark-charge distribution is such that a significant number of pixels may exhibit a much higher dark charge, limiting the maximum practical exposure. -
Page 48: Readout
PIXIS-XF System Manual Issue 5 Readout After the exposure time has elapsed, the charge accumulated in the array pixels needs to be read out of the array, converted from electrons to digital format, and transmitted to the application software where it can be displayed and/or stored. Readout begins by moving charge from the CCD image area to the shift register. -
Page 49: Binning
Chapter 5 Operation Figure 5-9: Full Frame at Full Resolution A1 B1 C1 A1 B1 C1 C2 D2 B1 C1 C2 D2 C2 D2 CCD Readout begins with the simultaneous shifting of all pixels one row toward the shift register, in this case the row at the top. The shift register is a single line of pixels along one edge of the CCD, not sensitive to light and used for readout only. -
Page 50: Hardware Binning
PIXIS-XF System Manual Issue 5 5.5.2.1 Hardware Binning Hardware binning is performed on the CCD array before the signal is read out of the output amplifier. For signal levels that are readout noise limited this method improves S/N ratio linearly with the number of pixels grouped together. For signals large enough to render the camera photon shot noise limited, the S/N ratio improvement is roughly proportional to the square root of the number of pixels binned. -

Page 54: Digitization (Rate)
5.6.1 Digitization Rate The PIXIS-XF camera has been designed with dual digitizers (i.e., 100 kHz and 2 MHz). Dual digitization allows you to choose how quickly the data will be digitized with optimal signal-to-noise ratios achieved at both readout speeds. Because the readout noise of CCD arrays increases with the readout rate, it is sometimes necessary to trade off readout speed for high dynamic range. -
Page 55: Adc Offset (Bias)
If you observe a sudden change in the baseline signal you may have excessive humidity in the camera's vacuum enclosure. TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY.

PIXIS-XF System Manual Issue 5 6.1.2 External Sync {Readout Per Trigger} In this mode all exposures are synchronized to an external source. As illustrated in Figure 6-3, this mode can be used in combination with Normal or PreOpen {Open Before Trigger} shutter operation. -
Page 61: Figure 6-4: Timing Diagram: External Sync Mode (+ Edge Trigger)
Chapter 6 Advanced Topics The PreOpen {Open Before Trigger} mode is useful in applications where an External Sync pulse cannot be provided 8 ms (or the length of time a mechanical shutter takes to open) before the actual signal occurs. Its main drawback is that the CCD is exposed to any ambient light while the shutter is open between frames. -
Page 62: External Sync With Continuous Cleans {Clean Until
6.1.3 External Sync with Continuous Cleans {Clean Until Trigger} Timing Another timing mode available with the PIXIS-XF is Continuous Cleans {Clean Until Trigger}. In addition to the standard cleaning of the array which occurs after the camera is enabled, this mode removes any charge from the array until the moment the External Sync pulse trigger edge is received. -

Chapter 6 Advanced Topics Figure 6-6 Figure 6-7 illustrate the timing diagrams for this mode for WinX/32 and LightField, respectively.

Chapter 6 Advanced Topics 6.4.1 Kinetic Timing Modes Kinetics Mode operates with three timing modes: Free Run {No Response}, Single Trigger {Readout Per Trigger}, and Multiple Trigger {Shift Per Trigger}.

The trigger is applied at the Ext Sync connector on the rear of the PIXIS-XF. After the series is complete, the shutter closes and the CCD is read out at normal speeds. Once the readout is complete, the camera is ready for the next series of exposures. -
Page 72: Custom Modes
PIXIS-XF System Manual Issue 5 In multiple trigger mode, the shutter (if there is an external X-ray shutter) is opened when Acquire or Focus {Run} is clicked and each exposure-shift cycle in the acquisition is triggered independently by a pulse applied at the EXT SYNC connector. This mode is useful when each subframe needs to be synchronized with a pulsed external light source such as a laser. -
