Why high count rates improve your productivity 

Oxford Instruments detector development timeline

Work with confidence at higher count rates to increase your productivity. INCA EDS hardware collects high quality data faster.

 

Two spectra acquired from a steel for 60 seconds (right) show the benefit of working at 10,000cps rather than 1,000cps

  • Faster detection of trace elements

  • Faster detection of elements in an overlapped peak

  • Consistently accurate results that can be relied upon

Analysis of these steel spectra shows how the precision (measured at the 3σ level) improves when using a higher count rate.  Click to see these results:

INCA EDS hardware has excellent stability at very high count rates – a real advantage for X-ray mapping

 

X-ray maps collected from a slag sample for 60 seconds show the benefit of using very high count rates rather than 1,000cps for mapping.

  • Faster determination of spatial variations

  • Subtle variations clearly revealed
