DetektorElement
DetektorElement is a modular sensing unit that serves as the core detection element in a range of instruments and systems. It is designed to convert a physical quantity—such as light, ionizing radiation, chemical species, or particles—into an electrical signal that can be measured, stored, or processed. The term is used across disciplines, with specific implementations depending on the target domain.
Construction and operation: A DetektorElement typically comprises a sensing material layer mounted on a supporting substrate,
Applications: DetektorElemente are used in scientific instrumentation, medical imaging, industrial inspection, environmental monitoring, and security systems.
Variations and standards: Design goals include sensitivity, dynamic range, linearity, and stability under environmental changes. Calibration
