• APPLICATIONS

    Micro X-ray was formed in recognition of a need for a customer focused X-ray tube manufacturer. Instead of proposing a standard product line, we seek to fully understand the customer’s objective and develop unique solutions for every application.

X-RAY FLUORESCENCE

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is the emission of characteristic “secondary” (or fluorescent) X-rays from a material that has been excited by bombarding with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays. The phenomenon is widely used for elemental analysis and chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials, and for research in geochemistry, forensic science, archaeology and art objects such as paintings and murals.

IMAGING

According to image system OEM’s, “Image is everything”, or “Seeing is believing”. A list of great specifications is not as important as the end results. There are several recognized standards for measuring focal spot size, each of which deviate significantly. Some X-ray tube manufactures specify a small spot, yet the image can be blurry due to oblong or double (dog bone) focal spots. We produce X-ray tubes with small, round focal spots, minimizing un-sharpness, for clearer images.

THICKNESS GAUGING

Thickness measuring systems using X-ray transmission can be installed In-Line, so that thickness trend changes can be monitored in real-time by the traversing X-ray head. First the absorption coefficient is calculated from the master product, and then the relative thickness is measured by detecting the deviation of X-ray transmission, due to attenuation.
