X-ray detector 125 - 140 eV, 500 000 CPS | XR-100SDD

silicon drift

The XR-100SDD is a new high performance x-ray detector, preamplifier, and cooler system using a thermoelectrically cooled Silicon Drift Detector (SDD). Also mounted on the 2-stage cooler are the input FET and a novel feedback circuit. These components are kept at approximately -55 °C, and are monitored by an internal temperature sensor. The hermetic TO-8 package of the detector has a light tight, vacuum tight thin Beryllium window to enable soft x-ray detection. The XR-100SDD represents a breakthrough in x-ray detector technology by providing "off-the-shelf" performance previously available only from expensive cryogenically cooled systems.
