EDAX Octane Elite EDS/EDX System
The game-changing advancements in the EDAX Octane Elite energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS/EDX) system with Octane Elite silicon drift detectors (SDDs) take EDS analysis to the next level. This system includes detectors with a silicon nitride (Si3N4) window, offering remarkable improvements in low energy sensitivity for light element detection and low kV microanalysis. The Octane Elite detectors also use high-speed x-ray data processing technology within a smaller and fully vacuum-encapsulated detector device.
The Octane Elite SDDs are available in two models:
EDAX Octane Elite Plus – 30 mm2 chip
EDAX Octane Elite Super ‐ 70 mm2 chip
Features:
Best light element performance: The silicon nitride window offers significant improvements compared to a polymer window, improving light element performance and significantly more critical data for the analyst.
Si3N4 window : The silicon nitride window offers superior low-energy transmission compared to a polymer window.
Low kV performance : The mechanical properties of Si3N4 allow the use of thinly fabricated windows, offering a great benefit in terms of sensitivity and optimal low-voltage analysis.
Optimised SDD electronics : Fast pulse processing from mapping and quantification
Optimised data quality at all count rates
High-resolution quantitative analysis at mapping speeds greater than 400,000 output cps
Throughput : EDAX EDS systems with advanced detection electronics offer the highest throughput count rates on the market for the best possible analysis and increased productivity.
Reliability : The material properties and durability of Si3N4 ensure the most robust and reliable detectors available for all EDS applications.
Motorised slide : The motorised slide offers complete control of the detector via the software and is optimal for analytical flexibility. It is ideal for all focused ion beam (FIB) systems.
APEX software for EDS allows users to optimsze their analysis time and get the best possible data from their sample. It ensures high-quality, accurate results and increased productivity with its easy-to-use interface, live-time graphical display, and simultaneous review mode.
