Contents
Detector
Styles
- Si-Li
- Silicon Drift Detector (SDD)
Si-Li
Operates at LN2 temps. If operated at room temp it will be destroyed
SDD
"SDD detectors operate at a few tens of degrees below zero"
Window
Styles [epmalab]:
- Be foil
- Supported window
- Windowless
Be foil
"The most common EDS detector window has been made of Be foil ~7.6 um (0.3 mil) thick. It allows good transmission of X-rays above ~ 1 keV. It is strong enough to withstand venting to atmospheric pressure, and opaque to optical photons." [epmalab]
Supported window
"For transmission of light element X-rays (<1 keV), windows ~0.25 um thick of BN, SiN, diamond or polymer are used. They must use supporting grids to withstand pressure differentials; the grid (e.g., Si or Ni) takes up about 15% of the area, but thin enough that low energy X-rays pass through." [epmalab]
Ultra Thin Window (UTW)
made of:
Windowless
"no film, and there is a turret that allows swapping with a Be window. Difficult to use as oil or ice can coat the detector surface" [epmalab]
Gamma Spectacular

How hard would it be to use this as EDS controller?
