The Excillum Microfocus X-Ray Source
Excillum develops and manufactures extreme-brightness microfocus x-ray sources based on its proprietary metal-jet anode technology. At present, the performance of the Excillum source is about 10 times higher than for conventional solid-anode microfocus x-ray sources.
The main component of the metal-jet anode is gallium (Z=31, Kα=9.25 keV), which produces an x-ray spectrum very similar to the one of copper (Z=29, Kα=8.05 keV). Therefore, any copper-anode microfocus x-ray source may easily be replaced with an Excillum source to acquire the same images 10 times faster.
Typical performance examples of the Excillum microfocus x-ray source:
| Parameter | Value |
| Target Material | Ga-based alloy |
| Acceleration Voltage | 50-100 kV |
| Spot Size | 5-20 μm |
| Power | 50-200 W (10 W/μm) |
| Operation | Pulsed or continuous |
