EDAX INTRODUCES THE LATEST ADVANCEMENTS IN ITS APOLLO SDD SERIES FOR EDS ANALYSIS
Release Date: November 13, 2009
MAHWAH, NJ – EDAX Inc., a leader in X-ray microanalysis and electron diffraction instrumentation, has introduced the next series of Apollo SDD detectors for X-ray microanalysis.
“While the Apollo Series offers a range of detector sizes and performance levels including a large-area SDD chip,” notes Judy O’Loughlin, Director of Product Marketing for EDAX, “it emphasizes a more important feature, the positioning of the detectors close to the sample, making it comparable to the best-designed Si(Li) detectors.”
“EDAX’s Apollo Series offers users the best of both worlds. All SDDs are able to map at high resolution, and all SDDs can map at high count rates. Users of the Apollo Series gain the benefits of both simultaneously,” she adds.
For the past several years SDD detectors have been able to process a very high volume of X-rays, making high-speed mapping possible. At times, the resolution was sacrificed to achieve increased throughput. With the new Apollo Series, mapping resolution no longer suffers. High-resolution, high-speed mapping is defined by EDAX as better than 135 eV resolution @ 100,000 cps and deadtime of 30% throughput.
The Apollo Series is the perfect complement to EDAX’s market-leading Genesis software, bringing all the advanced features for qualitative and quantitative analysis, mapping and particle analysis to the materials characterization scientist.
“At the same time, the Apollo Series fits seamlessly into the EDAX family of materials characterization tools, effortlessly integrating with our market-leading EBSD cameras and our technology-leading WDS systems,” concludes O’Loughlin.
