X-ray detector technology has certainly improved in coverage, speed and sensitivity. There is another dimension that is often overlooked but plays a pivotal role in achieving high signal and low background: Energy Discrimination. Advances have led to the ability to electronically remove not only background fluorescence but also K-Beta. During this episode of Live from the Lab we discuss the technology that goes into energy discriminating detectors like the LYNXEYE XE-T and see it in action, live from the lab.
Broadcast live from Bruker's YouTube channel once each month, our Live from the Lab streaming series explores X-ray Diffraction, X-ray Microscopy, and Elemental Analysis topics, with advice from applications experts who also answer questions that come in during the show.
