Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) instrument manufacturers and research labs are continually pressing for x-ray components that enable higher performance at a lower cost. High performing x-ray detectors are critical to building quality instruments. Moxtek® has improved the sensitivity of our Si-PIN detectors by using thicker diodes and thinner beryllium windows. The increased performance enables faster […] Read more

DuraBeryllium Plus windows demonstrated the greatest resistance to a variety of corrosive elements. This resistance was seen even after the parts had been baked at temperatures up to 400°C. Read more

Moxtek® is a leading manufacturer of X-ray windows for low energy X-ray detection. Moxtek manufactures ultra-thin polymer X-ray windows that are attached to metal mounts which house energy dispersive X-ray detectors such as Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs). These windows allow for transmission of low energy X-rays while maintaining a hermetic seal critical for the X-ray […] Read more

Moxtek® X-ray Windows are very thin and fragile, great care should be taken while handling these windows. The guidelines below must be strictly followed in order to prevent damage to the window. View document

AP3 ultra-thin polymer windows manufactured at Moxtek® receive two quality inspections before being shipped to customers, once before installation into various mounts View document

This preliminary setup will lead to a prototype simultaneous XRD/XRF instrument. View document

Moxtek® delivers each AP window in a mount appropriate for each customer. The windows are bonded to a mount using vacuum compatible adhesive. This Technical Note provides general guidelines to use when designing mounts for Moxtek AP windows. View document

A first prototype XRD/XRF instrument was developed at NASA Ames Research Center and is currently in use at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The intended applications for this instrument are for planetary exploration and as a portable instrument for terrestrial use. View document
