New Sahara Silicon Drift Detector Features Premium Resolution, High Count Rate

 

High performance EDS with no moving parts, no vibration, and no maintenance.

The Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) has become the detector of choice for X-ray applications requiring excellent resolution, high count rate capability, and low energy sensitivity. This revolutionary technology, when optimized and integrated with state-of-the-art PGT electronics and software yields the optimum solution for many EDS and XRF applications.

Princeton Gamma-Tech's new Sahara Silicon Drift (SD) detectors are some of the most versatile X-ray detectors on the market today. Featuring high performance with no liquid nitrogen and no moving parts, the new Sahara detectors are vibration- and maintenance-free.

Whether you're looking for high resolution (129 eV) or extreme count rate (>100,000 cps!) with excellent light element performance in a SD detector, there is a Sahara detector to meet your needs. Compatible with all types of electron microscopes, the Sahara can even be retrofitted to older model microscopes, allowing convenient replacement of aging Si(Li) detectors with a state-of-the-art spectrometer. And all Sahara detectors can be ordered with our unique Variable Z (VZ) interface guaranteeing optimum geometry, regardless of your SEM configuration.
