X-ray Detectors

Moxtek Si-PIN x-ray detectors are small, efficient, and reliable. Moxtek detectors are used in XRF and XRD instruments for a variety of applications and are manufactured to meet demanding customer packaging and performance requirements

XE550 x-ray detector
  
The XPIN™ is MOXTEK’s next generation EDXRF detector, achieving typical resolutions of 160eV (6mm2) and 205eV (13mm2) FWHM (Fe55, 5.9 KeV @ -55ºC, 8µsec shaping). The XPIN combines a 625µm thick silicon PIN diode, an ultra-low-noise JFET, and a high performance two-stage thermoelectric cooler to achieve a stable output signal over high count rates...
  
XE x-ray detectors
 
The XE detectors are EDXRF Si-PIN detectors, with options for either a 6mm2 or 13mm2 active area. XE detectors combine a silicon PIN diode, a MOXTEK ultra-low-noise JFET, and a high performance two-stage thermoelectric cooler to achieve a stable output signal over high count rates...
    
     

Application Notes:

Application Note 1001

Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) instrument manufacturers and research labs are continually pressing for x-ray components that enable higher performance at a lower cost. High performing x-ray detectors are critical to building quality instruments. Moxtek has improved the sensitivity of our Si-PIN detectors by using thicker diodes and thinner beryllium windows. The increased performance enables faster sample times, improved sensitivity, and expanded range of photon detection.
