EDAX Inc.: Silicon Drift Detector

February 27, 2007

EDAX Inc. has launched its Apollo Series SDD, the next generation of silicon drift detectors for X-ray microanalysis. “The development of our Apollo Series SDD revolutionizes the X-ray microanalysis market,” said Del Redfern, product marketing manager. “The Apollo Series offers a range of detector sizes, including a large-area SDD chip, but just as importantly, the positioning of the detectors close to the sample is very similar to that of the best-designed 10mm2 Si(Li) detectors. The largest of the detectors provides a collection efficiency over three times that of the Si(Li) detector.”
