Description
Sciaps X-50 features PiN diode technology, which is the previous generation detector prior to the advent of silicon drift detectors. The PiN technology processes a factor of 10x – 20x lower X-ray rates than the silicon drift detectors, and has resolution that is about 70 eV less (greater width).
However, for many applications, such as basic sorting of stainless, high temp, and copper alloys, or to analyze base or heavy metals in soils, ores, powders, etc., the PiN technology is satisfactory. The X-50 will NOT measure Mg, Al or Si in alloys. For some materials, X-50 can measure P and S at the 1% level. Limits of detection will be 3x higher (elevated) compared to SDD versions of the X. However, the X-50 features an attractive price point for the applications that work well.
