Octane Elite EDS System

 

The game changing advancements in the Octane Elite SDDs take detector technology to the next level. This line of detectors incorporates a new silicon nitride (Si3N4) window, which offers remarkable improvements in low energy sensitivity for light element detection and low kV microanalysis. The Octane Elite EDS System also uses state of the art electronics, which yield high speed X-ray data processing within a smaller and fully vacuum encapsulated detector device.
Octane Elite Silicon Drift Detector

The Octane Elite SDDs incorporate a silicon nitride (Si3N4) window, high speed electronics and a motorized slide. They can be combined with one of EDAX's Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) cameras and/or Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry (WDS) detectors as part of the Pegasus EDS-EBSD Analysis System or Trident EDS-EBSD-WDS Analysis System for a complete materials characterization solution. For more information, please visit the TEAM™ Pegasus Analysis System and TEAM™ Trident Analysis System pages.

The Octane Elite SDDs are available in 2 models:
Octane Elite Plus - 30 mm2 chip
Octane Elite Super - 70 mm2 chip

Best Light Element Performance

 

The silicon nitride window offers major improvements compared to a polymer window, leading to greatly improved light element performance and significantly more critical data for the analyst.

Si3N4 Window

 

The silicon nitride window offers superior low energy transmission compared to a polymer window.

Benefits

 

Low kV Performance

 

The mechanical properties of Si3N4 allow the use of thinly fabricated windows, offering a great benefit in terms of sensitivity and optimal low voltage analysis.

Optimized SDD Electronics

 

  • Fast pulse processing from mapping and quantification
  • Optimized data quality at all count rates
  • High resolution quantitative analysis at mapping speeds greater than 400,000 output cps
Throughput

 

EDAX EDS systems with advanced detection electronics offer the highest throughput count rates on the market for the best possible analysis and increased productivity.

Reliability

 

The material properties and durability of Si3N4 ensure the most robust and reliable detectors available for all EDS applications.

Motorized Slide

 

The motorized slide on the Octane Elite SDDs offers full control of the detector via the software and is optimal for analytical flexibility. It is ideal for all Focused Ion Beam (FIB) systems.

EDS Analysis Software allows users to optimize their analysis time and get the best possible data from their sample

 

  • Smart Diagnostics and Smart Acquisition facilitate optimized collection and analysis conditions
  • Smart Pulse Pile-Up Correction minimizes concerns typical of high count rate collections and allows maximum use of SDD technology
