Apogee 5500 Series Radiation Shielded X-ray Tube
Brand: Oxford Instruments | Category: Nanotechnology
Rated at 50kV and 50W, this packaged assembly targets duty where flux density stays high and the source runs continuously. Grid controlled variable focus layered on the high stability, high intensity tube technology yields very small focal spots, which serves high resolution industrial inspection and non-destructive testing across PCB assembly, battery, plastic, metal and mechanical parts, and also works well behind X-ray optics. Housing is a compact stainless steel, lead lined enclosure filled with dielectric oil for maximum shielding and heat dissipation, fitted with high voltage and filament connectors so the unit runs plug and play.

- Jupiter 5000 Series Radiation Shielded X-ray Tube
This packaged tube is rated 50kV and 50W and is built for continuous running at high flux density. Highly stable, high intensity tube technology puts it to work in medical imaging and in most high resolution industrial inspection and non-destructive testing, covering PCB assembly, battery, plastic, metal and mechanical parts. Dielectric oil inside a stainless steel, lead lined package handles shielding and heat dissipation, while integral high voltage and filament connectors make the unit plug and play. A wide range of spot sizes and target materials is offered.
- 3000 Series 30kV X-ray Tube
Developed for high flux stability and long life, the 3000 Series potted tube is suited to continuous operation. It is encapsulated in silicone rubber and features a grounded cathode together with a low attenuation beryllium window, giving a low cost route to high spectral purity radiation. Targets are offered in tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, gold, iron, palladium, rhodium and silver, at anode powers from 6W to 27.2W depending on part number.
- Pinnacles 50kV Microfocus X-ray Source
Developed for applications needing high resolution across a wide angle field of view, the Pinnacles 50kV microfocus source offers high flux output from a compact body. The package is fully radiation shielded and insulated, with an integrated high voltage cable on the side of the tube to simplify connection. The Shasta uF power supply has been optimised to drive this tube.
