Moxtek® MAGPRO 50kV 12W X-ray sources are built for portable and benchtop XRF instruments, with a primary focus on enabling continuous operation to extend the equipment’s lifespan.

This article discusses the current status of X-ray sources (tubes and power supplies) used in handheld X-ray fluorescence instruments. It outlines the basics of the tube and high-voltage power supply (HVPS) design and the functionality of X-ray sources designed specifically for handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Further, the testing methodologies of the tubes and power supplies are discussed. Finally, the selection criteria for the X-ray source for common applications are presented.

Moxtek manufactures low-power miniature X-ray sources for a variety of applications including handheld XRF, Security, NDT and benchtop instruments. Moxtek sources are small, lightweight and can be packaged into customer enclosures the MOX140G is ideally configured for backscatter and traditional imaging and is capable of running up to 140kV and 7W.

High energy imaging in a compact package. MOX140G is a complete X-ray source that is ideally configured at:

High energy imaging applications (140kV) compact (3.5in x 3.5in x 5in) lite weight 1.55kg (3.4 lb) package.

Side window tubes have approximately 30% higher x-ray flux compared to end window tubes, which helps in applications that rely on counting low numbers of photons, such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD).

• Caution: Initial cold warm up requires a 3 second ramp to full output. • Operating Temperature: Moxtek recommends a warm up period of 10 minutes before running below 0°C. • Radiation Leakage: Moxtek takes every precaution with radiation leakage but it is up to the end user to make sure there is adequate protection for your needs. Consult with an application engineer for your specific application. Learn more about the MOX140G by clicking this link for the datasheet.

Volume Manufacturing of Metalens Moxtek manufactures high-performance metalenses for visible and IR wavelengths. Moxtek offers a full solution, including design, fabrication, measurement, and packaging capabilities. Our metalens design team can optimize the lens design to match custom applications. Our foundry service bridges the gap from research to production by offering prototyping and volume manufacturing of metalens. Metalens benefits include reduced track length and weight in optical systems. They can have more design flexibility, added functionalities, shorter focal lengths and smaller diameters compared to traditional optics. Moxtek has overcome various challenges associated with scaling up visible wavelength metalens manufacturing to production volumes. We have developed efficient methods to create masters combined with our existing NIL processing to provide a full solution approach to volume production. Click here to view the datasheet
