Figure 7
Mean APD signal as a function of incident X-ray intensity for 200 V, 300 V and 350 V APD bias voltages, derived from the histograms in Fig. 6. The APD signal is given in units of Fe fluorescence photons, which constitute mainly Kα photons of 6.4 keV. At the highest bias of 350 V the APD response is linear up to a mean signal of 20 photons, at 300 V bias up to 40 photons and at 200 V bias of beyond 80 photons. |
