FAST SDD and C2 Window

EDS (SEM) Applications - Amptek Inc.

Amptek is pleased to offer our improved line of silicon drift detectors (SDDs) for energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) use within scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). Using our proprietary Patented “C-Series” silicon nitride (Si3N4) X-ray windows, the low-energy response of our FAST SDD® extends down to beryllium (Be). The FAST SDD® with its high intrinsic efficiency is ideal for EDS, which is also known as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX or XEDS) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) or energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXMA).
