Miniature 70 kV, 12W X-ray Source
June 1st 2017Recently, the compact MAGPRO’s maximum voltage was increased from 60 kV to 70 kV while maintaining the same size profile. This article highlights the advantages of 70 kV excitation of cadmium, an element of interest for Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS), at parts per million (ppm) levels.
Moxtek's ULTRA-LITE X-ray Source
September 1st 2012Moxtek's ULTRA-LITE X-ray source is a very small self contained X-ray source (X-ray tube and high voltage power supply) for use in portable X-ray applications, such as the handheld X-ray florescence (XRF) spectrometers. This note demonstrates that this X-ray source has a stable and repeatable X-ray flux output over time, which is vital for the precision of the calibrated XRF measurements.
