Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD)

Sahara  Xray Detector

Sahara II

The Sahara II Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) is PGT's latest addition to our extensive line of X-ray detectors. Evolving from the original Sahara SDD, introduced in 2001, Sahara II features high performance with no liquid nitrogen, no moving parts, no vibration and no maintenance. Sahara II is the ideal solution for users looking to relieve the burden and cost of liquid nitrogen and still maintain excellent X-ray performance. And because it's vibration-free, the Sahara is the best choice when working at high magnifications (>50,000X.)
