Super wide range sensor?

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.

Look at the purple line. (I think that the image will be huge, I’m trying to upload from my iPad).

I wonder if such technology will ever trickle down to become available to an ordinary curious photographer?

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:

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:

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).
