Si-PIN X-ray Detectors

Moxtek® Si-PIN x-ray detectors are used for a variety of demanding energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) industrial and scientific applications. XPIN® detectors are optimized to provide maximized resolution, count rate, energy absorption, and peak-to-background.

XPIN detectors are Moxtek's best performing Si-PIN detector ideal for benchtop and hand-held energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) instrumentation. Learn more about how X-ray emission spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) are used in Elemental Analysis.

The XPIN detector has a 625µm thick Si-PIN diode, an ultra-low-noise JFET, multilayer collimator, preamplifier, and is internally cooled with a two-stage thermoelectric cooler. Moxtek detectors use DuraBeryllium® windows uniquely coated with DuraCoat®, which is corrosion resistant and ideal for harsh environments. All Moxtek detectors are sealed in vacuum enabling cool detector temperatures. The XPIN is available with a 6mm2 or 13mm2 active areas. The compact size allows for design flexibility.
