Nitrogen-free EDS Detector

Oxford Instruments Analytical announced the world wide launch of its range of liquid nitrogen-free Si(Li) EDS detectors, IncaDryCool, for installation on SEM. The detector meets this need by using an entirely different cooling technology than any other microanalysis detector. It uses a revolutionary, patented, pulse tube cooling system to offer many advantages over other liquid nitrogen-free detectors and offers the same high analytical performance of a liquid nitrogen cooled detector, even at low energies. There is no external compressor, flammable gases, gas lines or image degradation from vibration. The only requirement is a stable mains electrical supply.
