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…)

This presentation compares noise, resolution, and peaking time.

The XPIN^®-XT package is ideal for benchtop and portable applications where an integrated temperature controller is not required.

The XPIN^® detector is Moxtek’s best performing Si-PIN detector. XPIN detectors use a silicon PIN diode, multi-layer collimator, and thin DuraBeryllium^® window, achieving great resolution and x-ray sensitivity.

AP5 ultra-thin polymer windows are the highest performing x-ray windows available for low and high energy x-ray analysis. AP5 windows are ideal for applications that require maximum (more…)
