To gain a better understanding and measure of miniature x-ray sources so that performance can be optimized in your application. (more…)

The electron field-emission properties of carbon nanotubes enable the fabrication of cold cathodes for a variety of vacuum device applications. The utilization of these cathodes is an attractive alternative for the replacement of thermionic or hot cathodes for generating X-rays. (more…)

The wire-grid polarizer (WGP) is one of the most useful optical components in the field. Potential applications include optical Isolation, spectroscopy, and imaging in the defense, security, forensics, astronomy, and telecomm industries. (more…)

The wire-grid polarizer  is one of the most useful optical components in the field. Potential markets exist in Optical Isolation, Imaging, and Spectroscopic applications in Defense, Security, Forensics, Astronomy, Communications, and Industrial Lasers. (more…)

With the miniaturization of XRF instrumentation, there has been a need for a compact, portable, battery-powered X-ray tube. In 2001 MOXTEK introduced a miniature X-ray tube designed to address the needs of handheld XRF analyzers. (more…)

For a number of years the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) has been fabricating and using single-bounce monocapillary optics to produce x-ray microbeams. With our current technology, these optics have achieved beam sizes of 5 to 50 of 2 to 10 mrad, and gains of 10 to 1000. (more…)

Moxtek offers DuraBeryllium^® windows mounted in vacuum fittings (CF flanges) with a proprietary high temperature metal seal and both DuraCoat and DuraCoat Plus protective films. (more…)

Moxtek® DuraBeryllium® windows are the highest performing beryllium x-ray windows available. DuraBeryllium windows are light tight, have high x-ray transmission, are vacuum tight, and corrosion resistant. (more…)

Manufacture of X-ray tubes requires state-of-the-art characterization techniques. For many years photographic film has been the traditional technique for the characterization of the electron-beam spot size and location, as well as for taking X-ray images. (more…)
