GE Sensing - New Ultra-Fast X-ray Diffraction Detector

Ahrensburg, Germany — August 4, 2008 —The Meteor1D detector from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies is the latest affiliate of the evolving Meteor detector ancestors for X-ray diffraction. Meteor1D creates a new accepted for apparent detectors in agreement of faster apprehension and read-out speeds and top resolution, while alms acute versatility aural a bunched and able-bodied design. These are appearance which fit the new 1D detector for a advanced ambit of applications including appearance appraisal and assurance of retained austenite, active experiments, involving in-situ appearance transformations and balance stress, arrangement and attenuate blur analysis. Typically, these applications are begin in R&D departments at universities, analysis centres and in automated organisations. For example, in the automotive and aerospace sectors, X-ray diffraction is apparent as a admired above affirmation tool.

The new Meteor1D detector is the aftereffect of abounding years of development, anticipation initially from bookish synchrotron research. It uses the individual photon counting assumption and incorporates the latest semiconductor technology. Meteor1D is a maintenance-free detector which requires no gas nor even the minimum of cooling. No Beryllium is active and the detector complies with the a lot of acrimonious bloom and assurance regulations.

The Meteor1D detector has been advised to accommodated the requirements of the market, both today and in the future. It appearance a 64mm window to action an aberrant abduction angle which translates into acutely top speed. For example, altitude times are bargain by a agency of 200 if demography diffractograms compared with accepted detectors, acceptance cogent accumulation in time and costs. Similarly, read-out times of alone 0.3ms accomplish the detector ultra-fast, if compared with read-out times of the adjustment of 100ms apparent by abounding aggressive detectors.

Versatility is addition account of the new detector as it can be operated both as a point (0D) and a beeline (1D) detector. In changeless and in scanning mode, with energies alignment from 5keV (Cr) to 18keV (Mo), with a apprehension ability greater than 98% for copper. By designing the detector apartment to axle a advanced apprehension angle (2 Theta) of added than 170º, it is accessible to accomplish accent abstracts with acutely top believability and accuracy.

The Meteor1D can be calmly retrofitted into absolute Seifert XRD3000 and XRD3003 diffractometer systems and abetment and administration systems can be advised to accommodated specific chump requirements.
