Improvements in SDD Efficiency – From X-ray Counts to Data

Continuing advancements in window materials, detector modules, and electronics are leading to higher count rates, better light-element sensitivity, and improved energy-resolution stability over a wide range of count rates. In this article we will briefly review how the different parts of the EDS system interact, from X-rays leaving the sample to the production of useful data and where recent changes have taken place. We then apply the gains offered by this new technology to three samples to illustrate the benefits that can
