Description
KETEK is the world market leader for Silicon drift detectors (SDDs). Among all market competitors KETEK offers by far the largest product variety associated with SDD modules, operating electronics and detector accessories.
KETEK’s SDDs represent the state of the art in energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence detection in the energy range from about 0.05 keV to about 30 keV. They are used worldwide in a large variety of applications, including electron microscopes, benchtop and handheld XRF spectrometers. Thanks to their wide operating temperature range, excellent energy resolution, and high reliability, they are well suited for both industrial applications and research.
This presentation provides an overview of KETEK’s holistic system approach, covering everything from the innovative graphene entrance window and specialized detector concepts to readout electronics and software. Featured developments include stray-line-free SDDs for improved spectral purity, rise-time-optimized detectors with large active areas, digital signal processing with very short peaking times for high throughput applications as well as multi-channel detector systems with a total collimated detection area up to 350 mm². This all is complemented by stable and user-friendly software. KETEK’s solutions range from fully integrated systems in compact, robust housings to miniaturized, modular systems optimized for integration into customer-specific measurement setups.
