SPI YAG Single Crystal Scintillators

Special Hints for Purchasers


For optimum performance, we recommend changing the photomultiplier when upgrading from P-47 to a YAG. However, modern photomultiplier tubes have a sufficiently broad range of sensitivities that the need to do this is less than it was past years before we had access to today's latest technology. If you do not plan to change PMT's, but want to take advantage of the single crystal concept, then consider a YAP instead of a YAG. The coated side is installed so it is always facing the sample. For non-SEM applications, YAG scintillators are available in specific thicknesses down to 0.15 mm. Be sure to specify precise thickness requests when ordering. For normal SEM applications, the standard range of thickness, which is 0.5 to 1 mm is quite acceptable.
