Meet the XFlash® 7200 FIRE - the next generation inclined energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detector engineered for ultra-fast, high-resolution elemental analysis with Bruker’s QUANTAX EDS systems.
Thanks to its four silicon drift detector (SDD) segments, each with individual pulse processing, the XFlash® 7200 FIRE delivers an industry-leading output count rate (OCR) of up to 2,400,000 cps. It is therefore fully leveraging its largest-in-class active area to generate high-resolution elemental maps within seconds. The detector provides excellent energy resolution, enabling accurate elemental identification even under challenging analytical conditions. In addition, the windowless design and the full coverage of SEM high voltages from 0 to 30 kV facilitate exceptional sensitivity for light elements and demanding peak separation.
XFlash® 7200 FIRE is a Four-segment Integrated detector for Rapid EDS.
This trailblazing largest-in-class SD detector with a 2,400,000 cps OCR redefines what is possible in SEM EDS.
The XFlash® 7200 FIRE delivers elemental analysis at excellent speed as well as resolution, thanks to the separation of the SDD into 4 segments.
The XFlash® 7200 FIRE is the first large area inclined detector of its kind, with a 4-channel SDD design for quantitative and qualitative elemental analysis at industry-leading energy resolutions and count rates.
The detector’s segmented design with a total active area of 200 mm2 overcomes the throughput and energy resolution limitations associated with large-area single SDD detectors.
The XFlash® 7200 FIRE achieves the highest possible solid angles on any SEM maximizing X-ray collection efficiency and optimally supports parallel ultra-fast EBSD and micro-XRF on SEM analysis.
X-ray detection across 4 independent SDD segments combined with the 4 x parallel signal processing delivers exceptional throughput and energy resolution at count rates far exceeding conventional large-area SDDs. The result is highly accurate qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis at unprecedentedly short measurement times and ultra-low dead times.
Exceptional X-ray collection efficiency facilitates the fastest analysis at low and high acceleration voltages, ensuring minimal sample drift for best spatial resolution.
With its windowless detector design the XFlash® 7200 FIRE provides outstanding sensitivity for low-energy X-rays, enabling the detection of light elements.
The optimized electron trap supports operation at SEM high voltages up to 30 kV, providing true full-spectrum EDS performance from the lightest detectable elements through to the highest-energy characteristic X-rays.
With its segmented 4-channel design, excellent energy resolution at high count rates, and the windowless design, the detector XFlash® 7200 FIRE excels in demanding SEM EDS applications. In particular:
