X-ray counting system

home • x-ray detector systems

The X-ray counting system detects X-rays in the energy range 5 to 100 keV. It is designed for use in X-ray diffraction instruments, including synchrotron applications.

The X-ray counting system uses a photomultiplier with YAP(Ce) scintillator and high speed electronics. A window discriminator circuit is used to detect pulses from X-rays within a selected energy band. Maximum count rate is 10 MHz. The width and lower threshold of the energy window and the HV of the photomultiplier can be set by the user with a control unit. Main application is scientific instrumentation

• X-ray energy range 5keV to 100keV
• covers wide range of instrumentation applications
• up to 10MHz count rate with dead time correction
• wide dynamic range
• TTL output
• interfaces with counter or PC card
• counts X-rays within user-settable energy window
• minimises background counts
