We are often times asked to get down to the "bottom line" and explain just why we can be so certain that the Robinson BSE detector is so superior to any other detector. Of course, for anyone familiar with BSE detector technology, it would be clear that such direct comparisons are always difficult because one does need a late model SEM to make such comparisons as well as an experienced operator. But if one did install different detectors on the same SEM, we are confident they would find the following:
Most users of the Robinson™ detector feel the biggest benefit is its ability to provide very high quality BSE images under the same conditions as employed when taking SE images. One does not have to learn new imaging techniques, or operate at higher beam currents which can cause saturation of the EDS detector. You can switch easily between the two modes, not having to change anything else. It also means that if one is looking at a polymers, which are characteristically beam sensitive, one can be confident that they won't be having to use the higher beam currents characteristic of other detectors, and which typically can damage the sample when imaging in the BSE mode.
The Robinson™ detector uses the highest light output scintillating material combined with the best optical light collection capability to give unsurpassed signal to noise images. In SEM imaging, signal to noise is what it is all about and the Robinson™ detector has the highest.
We have tried to answer all possible questions one might have but we know that we will never cover everything. So if you still have unanswered questions about the superiority of our claims, or even if you have some skepticism about them, let us know what they are.
