Stefano Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi, hopefully no one already posted this. I casually found a sensor which should be able to detect from visible light up to soft X-Rays (maybe even some hard X-Rays, since it goes up to 30 KeV). I don’t know how expensive it is (probably a lot) but just know that it exists. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=11&ved=2ahUKEwiGiczR-p7oAhXo-SoKHcDNDbEQFjAKegQIBhAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.princetoninstruments.com%2Fproducts%2FSOPHIA-XO-xray-cameras&usg=AOvVaw0tNCCjkuY0hr0vfGBNXKFs Look at the purple line. (I think that the image will be huge, I’m trying to upload from my iPad). Link to comment
dabateman Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Check out this new modification to the Gpixel sensor:https://gpixel.com/news/gpixel-announces-new-pulsar-technology-enabling-gsense-products-for-vuv-euv-soft-x-ray-and-electron-direct-detection-imaging/ Xray up to Uv now possible with the BSI2020 with a new special AR free design.

Andrea B. Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I wonder if such technology will ever trickle down to become available to an ordinary curious photographer? Link to comment

I don't think you should ever use x-rays as a light source. As for UV trickling down, there is camera that still has me salivating:https://www.ebay.com/itm/high-sensitivity-USB3-0-4-2mp-1-2-Monochrome-Digital-UV-ultraviolet-camera/124065525412?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=424896142693&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 But I don't have a spare $6000. I have no idea how much this would cost, but the 60x60mm sensor size would be fun:https://gpixel.com/products/area-scan-en/gsense6060bsi/ Link to comment
Stefano Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Anyway, if you want to go lower than 110-115 nm you must use a pinhole, as nothing I know transmits there. CaF2 is one of the lowest transmitting substances, and it will NOT bring you down to 100 nm, and air must be removed. Below 100 nm is a mystery, an unseen world (above X-Rays). Link to comment
