XploreCompact for TTM

A detector for general EDS

XploreCompact EDS detector is designed for routine analysis in the Table-Top Microscope. It contains the same proven technology from the class leading Ultim Max high large area detectors, so users can expect the same high quality results, but in a much smaller package. XploreCompact complements our comprehensive EDS portfolio and means that AZtecLive real-time chemical imaging is now available on a TTM.

No compromise in accuracy, reliability or quality

XploreCompact is designed to work within the confines of a TTM’s outer casing. Its innovative design means that it has the quality and accuracy you expect from the class leading Ultim Max large area detectors, but in a much smaller package.

Reduction in cost and complexity but not at the expense of accuracy, reliability or quality

✔️ Ultim Technology Inside

We use the proven technology from our class leading large area Ultim Max detector with its high throughput X4 electronics to create Xplore and x1.

✔️ Maximising Uptime

Stripping out unnecessary components like motorised insertion and extra cooling capacity to reduce number of parts and to make In-Field Repair a reality. Fewer parts, fewer things to go wrong.

✔️ Small footprint

Can be installed in even the smallest of the leading TTMs. XploreCompact’s slimline design means that there is no need for cut-outs in the TTM outer casing.

Users have a choice of TWO software platforms for their EDS system:
