Pinnacles 50kV Microfocus X-ray Source
Brand: Oxford Instruments | Category: Nanotechnology
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.

More from X-Ray Sources & Tubes
- Shasta 2 Series X-ray Tube Power Supply
The Shasta 2 Series is a robust supply optimised to power grounded filament X-ray tubes from Oxford Instruments, and its versatility lets it drive virtually any grounded filament tube. Closed loop emission control circuitry with low ripple delivers a highly regulated beam current and high stability, and both local and remote analogue control are provided for setting voltage and emission current. Models with grid focus control are matched to the Apogee tubes.
- 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.
- 1000 Series Glass X-ray Tube
Built as a glass envelope source for demanding duty cycles including continuous operation, the 1000 Series combines high flux with spot size stability. The 90507 and the other 1000 Series tubes carry a very small isostatically focused spot for high resolution work such as mini C-Arm fluoroscopy, while the robust electron gun assembly suits integrated X-ray sources where heat dissipation is a constraint. Long tube life comes from ultra-high vacuum held by the Oxford Instruments getter technology. The tube operates in bi-polar mode.
