Live From the Lab: What Is the Value of Energy Discrimination for XRD Detectors?

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.
