X-ray detector Vortex®-ME7

digitalsilicon driftthermoelectric

Vortex-ME7 is a seven-element silicon drift detector (SDD) X-ray detection system with a total active area of 210 mm2 - 350 mm2 design with a probe diameter of only 1.5" (38.1 mm). The Vortex-ME7 offers superior energy resolution and high-throughput performance to enhance the total analytical performance of the X-ray spectrometry system. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, both bulk- and micro-fluorescence Synchrotron radiation applications Process control Fast X-ray mapping The Vortex-ME7 SDD is operated at near room temperature and cooled by a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), and can be cycled as frequently as needed without any degradation in detector performance. Cool-down times are typically less than 3 minutes. The Vortex-ME7 X-ray spectroscopy systems include a detector unit and control box which includes power supplies for the detector, TEC, and an optional digital pulse processor. The complete detector also contains charge-sensitive preamplifiers and temperature-stabilization system, which eliminates concerns of varying ambient temperature.
