Excillum
Redefining the X-ray tube

Excillum AB founded

The foundations of the metal-jet principle were now demonstrated and Excillum was founded to bring the technology to the market. With some investment capital on board, a few more engineers could be added to the team to explore and refine the technology further, focusing on developing the first product, the Excillum MetalJet D1.

First market – X-ray diffraction

The first system integration was for X-ray diffraction through a close cooperation with Bruker-AXS and by then sales started to grow, as well as the team though still small. With some further development, the next generation MetalJet, D2, was launched.

New product launch

A first step towards being a multiple-products company was taken with the launch of a new product, the Excillum NanoTube. The NanoTube has unparalleled possibilities for X-ray imaging with true resolution of 150 nm lines and spaces, and with the unique feature to internally measure and report the current spot size.

Ready for greatness

The team is expanding and ambition is growing. Directly and together with multiple system partners, we are reaching for new geographical markets and application segments as well as consolidating our position on the market as the brightest X-ray source supplier available for home labs.

Anniversary

It’s now 20 years since the invention of the liquid-metal jet anode. The technology has been further refined through the years and today there is a large number of MetalJets installed to the benefit of customers all over the world.

We also launch a new generation high-resolution X-ray tubes, the Excillum NanoTube N2 series. The NanoTube N2 enables industry-leading 150 nm resolution in geometric-magnification X-ray imaging systems, and with an imaging speed surpassing its predecessor’s, the NanoTube N1.
