EDS Sensor Size – Oxford Instruments Bitesized Learning
Find out how silicon drift detectors (SDDs) play a crucial role in energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Using animated sketches, we explain the physics of an SDD and go on to describe the role of sensor size in data acquisition. Finally, we learn how larger detectors are necessary to accommodate a wide range of applications. This is achieved by increasing the detector area.
