Even though lacking of solid experimental verifications, X-ray polarimetry is strongly established as a deep diagnostic tool for probing the emission mechanisms in astronomical sources of high energy radiation. The recent development of new, more efficient instrumentation, as well as the renewed int

Gas Pixel Detectors are position-sensitive proportional counters in which a complete integration between the gas amplification structure and the read-out electronics has been reached. Various generation of Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) have been designed in deep submicron CMOS techn
The main goal of this work is to determine the capabilities of the Medipix2 and Timepix devices for imaging in X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The energy resolution of these devices is not sufficient for identification of characteristic radiation in each pixel. The proposed method of per pixel sp
