General Description
General Description - Vortex®-ME4
Vortex®-ME4 is a four-element silicon drift detector (SDD) X-ray detection system with a total active area of 120 mm2 - 200 mm2.
The Vortex®-ME4 offers superior energy resolution and high throughput performance to enhance the total analytical performance of the X-ray spectrometry system.
Typical Applications
- X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy both bulk and micro-fluorescence
- Synchrotron radiation applications
- Process control
- Fast X-ray mapping
The Vortex®-ME4 is operated at near room temperature and cooled by a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and can be cycled as frequently as needed without any degradation in detector performance. Cool down times are typically less than 3 minutes.
The Vortex®-ME4 X-ray spectroscopy systems include a detector unit and control box which includes power supplies for the detector, TEC and an optional digital pulse processor.
The complete detector also contains charge-sensitive preamplifiers and temperature stabilization system, which eliminates concerns of varying ambient temperature.
