From photon to signal
Two different responses are published: QE for the direct-detection version and CsI:Tl absorption for scintillator-coupled configurations. They are shown separately. The table’s 58% peak QE is specified at the scintillator emission wavelength without microlens; it is not an end-to-end X-ray DQE.
Select a figure to inspect the original axes, legend and curves.
QE versus photon energy for the direct-detection version only. This curve does not describe the scintillator-coupled 4MP_32, 4MP_68 or 4MP_95 configurations.
Scintillator absorption for the thicknesses in the legend. These are converter absorption curves, not complete-camera QE or DQE; the direct-detection sensor curve is shown separately.
