XPIN®-XT X-ray Detector-1

XPIN®-XT X-ray Detector The XPIN® detector is Moxtek’s best performing Si-PIN detector. XPIN detectors use a silicon PIN diode, multi-layer collimator, and thin DuraBeryllium® window, achieving great resolution and x-ray sensitivity. The XPIN preamp provides a low-noise signal output to an analog or digital pulse shaping amplier. The XPINXT package is ideal for benchtop and portable applications where an integrated temperature controller is not required. Applications Portable / Benchtop XRF ■ RoHS / WEEE ■ Light element analysis ■ Alloy sorting/ Metallurgy ■ Scientic research ■ Nuclear monitoring ■ Quality control ■ Coating analysis ■ Plastic additive analysis ■ Soil analysis ■ OSHA compliance ■ Contamination sampling ■ Archeology ■ Art authentication ■ Forensic ■ Mobile crime lab Low cost Close coupling between detector and source, portable Two-stage thermoelectric cooler Fast cooling without liquid nitrogen Stable resolution Minimal calibration maintenance Thin DuraBeryllium windows Light-element identication, corrosion resistant Wide ambient temperature range Industrial applications Multi-layer collimator Minimal stray peaks Example XPIN Spectrum (6mm2) Fe55 , 5.89keV @ -55ºC, 8µs Shaping Time 14,000 12,000 Standard Package Includes: XPIN-XT Detector ■ Vacuum sealed detector module ■ DuraBeryllium® window ■ Ultra-low noise Moxtek JFET ■ Thick Si-PIN diode ■ Preamplier with input/output connector ■ Optional detector mounts Si-PIN diode Small, compact design XPIN®-XT-AB (Angle bracket sold seperately) DET-DATA-1002, Rev C Subject to technical change without notice
