Enhance the capabilities of your open fronted high energy detection camera by adding a standalone camera filter holder!

SO-to-SY camera converters give you the flexibility to use your open fronted camera in pressurised environments for direct X-ray detection whilst keeping open the option to remove the converter and attach your camera to a vacuum chamber as required.

The filter holders SO-FILTER-HOLDER-xx have a built-in pumping channel to ensure pressure equilibrium on either side of the filter, hence minimizing the risk of mechanical stress and damage to the filter.

FLG-SO-SY-CONVERT-45 mounts onto the Newton and iKon-M ‘SO’ camera series. FLG-SO-SY-CONVERT-60 mounts onto the iKon-L ‘SO’ camera series. The vacuum sealing interface is a knife-edge.

The vacuum between the filter and the sensor is achieved by connecting a pump to the interface, which is fitted with a KF16 interface. 

Note that since this interface relies on an O-ring vacuum seal, pressure down to 10-6 mbar can be achieved.
