Apollo 40 SDD

Apollo 40 SDD - Fulfilling the Promise

The Apollo 40 SDD fulfills the promise of SDD technology with superior collection efficiency, superior light element performance, along with excellent resolution and peak positioning stability

The expectations of the SDD technology were never achieved until the Apollo 40 SDD with the following features:

• Collection efficiency over 3 times that of the best designed 10mm² (SiLi), enabling the collection of high count rates
• Superior light element performance down to (and including) Boron
• Excellent and stable energy resolution to over 100Kcps
• Peak position stability over the dynamic range of the detector
• Superior qualitative and quantitative analysis
• Collect a full X-ray map in seconds
• Electronics capable of handling count rates of over 10⁶ cps
