Business Wire
At Pittcon 2006, Bruker AXS Microanalysis will exhibit its recently
announced QUANTAX(TM) QUAD ultra-fast and sensitive EDS system for
X-ray microanalysis on electron microscopes. QUANTAX(TM) QUAD
features the unique XFlash(R) QUAD detector -- the first
four-channel 40 mm(2) Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) for
Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) systems mounted on electron
microscopes. Powered by ESPRIT(TM) software, the QUANTAX QUAD
delivers significantly faster EDS results across a broad range of
applications. It is especially suitable for field emission scanning
electron microscopes, environmental and low vacuum scanning
electron microscopes. The new high-end XFlash QUAD detector
complements the existing Bruker AXS QUANTAX EDS product line. Four
independently operating 10 mm(2) Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs)
with integrated anodes and FETs form the heart of the XFlash QUAD
detector. This arrangement provides the high energy resolution of a
single 10 mm(2) crystal at four times the count rate, accepting
maximum input count rates in excess of 2,000,000 cps. Cooled by
Peltier elements, the XFlash QUAD detector requires no liquid
nitrogen and is vibration and maintenance-free. Standard energy
resolution is better than 133eV (MnKa) at 10,000 cps, and energy
resolution of better than 127 (MnKa, 10,000 cps) is available upon
request. Thomas Schuelein, Vice President for Microanalysis at
Bruker AXS, stated: "This cutting-edge new product fits right into
our broader EDS strategy, as it complements our already existing
range of industry-leading Silicon Drift Detectors. While our proven
10 and 30 mm(2) single-channel XFlash SDDs are expected to remain
the standard for the vast majority of EDS applications, the unique
new XFlash QUAD SDD is ideal for optimizing count rate at low beam
current conditions and helps make new analysis techniques, like
spectral imaging, even more efficient and powerful. All of our
QUANTAX EDS customers can upgrade to the XFlash QUAD in the future,
should their applications require this performance." For more
