Abstract

SUMMARYAn evaluation was made of an intrinsic germanium X‐ray detector fitted to a 400‐keV electron microscope. Its characteristics as a function of accelerating voltage, pulse processor settings and count rate were investigated. Comparisons are drawn between intrinsic Ge and Si(Li) detectors at both an experimental and theoretical level. The software requirements for the successful collection of spectra are discussed.
