nanoXRS
Real-Time Digital Pulse Processing (DPP) X-Ray Spectrometer. The nanoXRS is a state-of-the-art x-ray spectrometer, with an integrated thermoelectrically cooled Silicon Drift Detector (SDD). See below for more features.
Features
The nanoXRS is a small sized, full featured X-Ray Spectrometer with integrated, thermoelectrically cooled Silicon Drift Detector (SDD), featuring:
- High counting rate capability (> 1mln cps) at very short shaping times (< 100ns)
- User configurable digital pulse processor with 16-bit low power ADC sampling at 80MHz
- Enhanced pile-up rejection based on pulse-shape analysis
- Free labZY-MCA software for device configuration, spectra acquisition, and spectrum analysis
- Built-in Trace Viewer, the most advanced detector signal exploration tool
- Automatic functions: thresholds, pole-zero, input polarity, inhibit polarity
- Built-in and signal interference-free Digital Pulser
- Manganese Kα line resolution down to 125eV FWHM
- Three performance grades based on FWHM:
- research grade with FWHM less than 150eV
- standard grade with FWHM 150eV to 180eV
- educational/training grade with FWHM greater than 180eV
- Convenient and flexible connectivity with single mini USB connector for I/O
- Built-in thermoelectric cooler with detector temperature stabilization
- Small size (125 mm x 38 mm x 25 mm) and low power (1250mW typ)
