XFlash® 5030 T Detector

The XFlash® 5030 T detector is the first silicon drift detector specifically designed for use in transmission electron microscopy. It is equipped with an SDD chip that has an active area of 30 mm². The slender detector finger offers optimal geometric conditions and enables a large solid angle for signal collection, as it allows the detector tip to be positioned close to the sample. The UHV-suitable design with motorized retraction and welded bellows complete the image.

The XFlash® 5030 T offers

  • very good energy resolution (133 eV at MnKα and 100,000 cps guaranteed, also available: 127 eV at MnKα and 50,000 cps and 129 eV at MnKα and 75,000 cps)
  • extremely high pulse load capability up to 750,000, immediate recovery after crossing TEM grid bars
  • very good light element performance (detection range boron (5) to americium (95)),
  • no elaborate, vibration-generating cooling systems, no boiling LN2,
  • includes welded bellows and shutter,
  • optional motorization,
  • low operating cost,
  • maintenance-free operation,
  • small dimensions,
  • low weight.

We recommend the XFlash® 5030 T for

  • EDS systems for TEMs and STEMs,
  • EDS systems for aberration corrected electron microscopes.
