Abstract
Individual x rays of 5.9 and 22.4 keV have been detected and energy analyzed in single pixels of a CCD image sensor. The results indicate the CCD operates as an array of tiny Si solid state detectors providing both high spatial resolution and x‐ray energy discrimination. These devices will prove useful sensors at the focus of future x‐ray telescopes.Keywords
