XR 4.0 X-ray energy detector (XRED)

Function and Applications

The X-ray energy detector (XRED) allows direct measurement of the energy of individual X-ray photons.

Benefits

• Determine and analyze the complete X-ray energy spectrum of the examined material
• Easy calibration; characteristic X-ray lines for all elements of the periodic table are integrated into the software
• Can be mounted directly on the goniometer of the X-ray device; the full functionality of the goniometer is retained
• Direct USB connection provides supply voltages
