Poly / Mono capillary and Doubly Curved Crystal X-ray optics

 

XOS and Photonic Science sign a European agency agreement covering the supply of X-ray optic / monochomator and integrated XBEAM microfocus sources to laboratories / synchrotrons / OEMs wishing to upgrade their current set up.

 

Polycapillary X-ray optics  allows faster and more flexible data collection routines over 100eV up to 40keV energy range. Thanks to high solid angle capture (few degrees) / optimised beam size (10m up to 10mm) / output focal range combination (2-500mm).  Over 1000 fold flux density gain (versus pinhole aperture) can be obtained depending on 2D point to point or point to parallel geometry used.

High spectral resolution / high sensitivity (down to ppb) requirements can be met using a doubly curved crystals instead of polycapillary X-ray optics.

 

  •  Energy and wavelength spectroscopy / fluorescence
  •  Monochromatic micro XRF
  •  2D Elemental mapping / analysis
  •  Stress / Strain
  •  Powder diffraction / Crystalline Structure / Phase Determination / Texture Analysis
  •  Protein Crystallography / Single crystal diffraction
  •  X-ray microscopy / Imaging

 

Integrated polycapillary optics with microfocus X-ray source

XBEAM microfocus source incorporated into PSL X-ray LAUE system allows 50x flux increase compared to standard X-ray film collection.    

 

  •  Near real time LAUE diffraction / micro diffraction set up upgrade
  •  Motorised goniometer allowing automated sample orientation
  •  Very high resolution detectors allowing strain analysis studies
  •  W, Cu, Cr, Co, Mo Rh, Ag targets on demand
