Vortex® X-Ray Detectors
Vortex® X-ray detectors feature the largest active area single element detector (50 mm2) available of its kind. Vortex® detectors are produced from high purity silicon using state-of- the-art CMOS production technology. They feature excellent energy resolution (<129 eV FWHM at Mn Kα is typical) and a high count rate capability (input rate >1 Mcps). At a very short peaking time of 0.25 µs, an output count rate of 600 kcps is achieved. A unique feature of these detectors is their ability to process high count rates with virtually zero loss in energy resolution and no peak shift with count rate.
Typical Applications:
- X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy — both bulk and micro-fluorescence
- X-ray diffraction (XRD)
- Micro XRF (additional sizes available in near future)
- Process control
