SDD (Silicon Drift Detector)
High-resolution XRF detector enabling faster, more accurate multi-element analysis.
A Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) converts X-ray photons into electrical pulses proportional to energy. Compared to older PIN detectors, SDDs offer better energy resolution, higher count rates, and no liquid nitrogen cooling.
Specelex Max and Ultra models use SDD technology for alloy PMI, delivering sharper peak separation for elements like Mo, V, and Nb in complex matrices.
