Product Features

• 4-window tubes (2 windows for line-focus, 2 windows for point focus)
• Glass and metal ceramic tubes available for all standard anode materials
• Special cooling heads for change from line to point-focus setup in the same tube window
• Focus types: micro focus, long fine focus, fine focus, normal focus, broad focus
• Common anode materials are Cu, Cr, Fe, Co, Mo, Ag and W (further special anode materials are available upon request)
• For standard powder analysis XRD tubes with Cu-radiation normally are a good choice with respect to intensity, penetration depth and resolution.
• In combination with ferrogenious samples Cu radiation causes a high fluorescence background, so either a secondary monochromator or Co-, Cr- or Fe- radiation is recommended instead.
• Residual stress measurements are preferentially done at highest possible angles, which is supported by use of long wavelengths like Cr- radiation.
• Short wavelentghs, like Mo-radiation help to achieve higher penetration depths (in heavy absorbing materials).
• For investigation of Laue patterns the best choice is white radiation of a W-tube.
