Detector

The detector suite: a visible-light microscope (interchangeable objectives over a scintillator) coupling the X-ray image to a suite of high-speed cameras, including the PSI in-house GigaFRoST continuous-streaming camera that defines I-TOMCAT's fast and dynamic tomography.

Enclosure: i-tomcat-experiment.

Note

The microscope binds Housing with Objective + Scintillator constituents (the 2-BM / TomoWISE Microscope-assembly precedent), but no catalog Assembly or Model is bound here pending confirmation of the rebuilt-beamline optics (DET-2). The cameras bind Camera; their vendor models (pco.edge family, pco.dimax, the PSI GigaFRoST) are carried as (target) pending confirmation (DET-1).
