New Graphene Window
The switch to a graphene window is unsurprising in these improved S1 TITAN models. This is because the graphene window greatly improves detection of lighter elements due to the increased transmission of lower energy photons (Figure 1). Similar to it’s predecessor, the new graphene windows will be paired with Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) technology. Subsequently, together these work in tandem to detect the widest range of elements. Additionally, with the graphene window the limit of detection for the lighter elements, such as magnesium and aluminium, is significantly lowered. Consequently this enables better quantification of these lighter elements (Table 1).
