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 […] View document

NanoStructure Solutions™ White Paper MOXTEK has been producing functional nanostructured optical components for over 20 years. We offer high volume wafer replication of various nanostructure devices, including: microlens arrays, waveguides, patterned metasurfaces, Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs), photonics crystals, and biosensor arrays. These devices are used for imaging, illumination, and display systems for a variety of […] View document
Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) has demonstrated the ability to replicate nano-structures within extremely tight tolerances. The process concept and lab sample implementation has been around for a long time. Scaling up has introduced a number of barriers that have taken some time to overcome. In this paper, we discuss the implementation of full wafer NIL in […] View document
MOXTEK (Orem, UT) is excited to celebrate the landing of the Perseverance rover in the Mars Jezero crater on February 18th 2021. This landing will be watched by many people around the world with anticipation as this new high‐tech rover is delivered to our red planet neighbor. Moxtek employees will also be anxiously watching as […] View document
The basic premise of XRF is that high energy x-rays are aimed at a sample and then the atoms in the sample may absorb an x-ray. This ionizes the atom by displacing an electron from one of the shells close to the atom. The next step is for an electron from an outer shell to […] View document
ProFlux wire-grid polarizers are made of mirror quality aluminum patterned on glass wafers. The size and structure of the grid makes it very susceptible to physical damage and contamination. Because of the fragile nature of the wire-grid, it is necessary to follow proper handling guidelines. Damage to the wire-grid from mishandling is not covered in […] View document
