SDD X-Ray

Silicon Drift Detectors to double your throughput

It's now possible to complete a 4 hour analysis in half the time. Other benefits include:
  • Ability to collect EDS data 10 to 15 times faster
  • Count rates 40,000/sec to 100,000/sec
  • No liquid nitrogen maintenance
  • Cost for LN2 is eliminated
  • Does not require a 2 hour cool down period like the LN2 cooled SiLi detectors
  • Light element ultra thin windows models available with energy resolution ~133 eV
  • AFA throughput doubled

Model on Cu Typical EDS Search Time Typical EDS Detect Time Typical Run Time per stub
SiLi Detector 3,000cps 3.0 sec 6.0 sec 4-6 hours
SDD 10² mm 10,000cps 1.0 sec 3.0 sec 3 hours
SDD 30² mm 30,000cps 0.2 sec 0.5 sec <2 hours

BE Detectors can see down to Sodium (Na)
LE Detectors can see below Sodium (Na) such as Oxides (O), Carbon (C), and Boron (B). Beryllium (Be) will not be seen.
