Twinkle, twinkle, little star…
… and the little X-ray star generated in the Excillum NanoTube is truly little. X-ray spots in the 300 nm range can be generated at the push of a button thanks to the advanced e-beam technology with a very high degree of automated feedback. And with exceptional cathode lifetime these little stars can be applied to applications where uptime is key.

Unwrapping the mystery of sharpness!
The penumbra effect is like the blurred edge of a shadow – it happens when the light source isn’t a perfect point. In the same way in X-ray imaging, a larger X-ray spot size creates fuzzier images.
Today’s takeaway:
For the sharpest images, keep your X-ray spot size small and focused – because in imaging, clarity is the ultimate gift!

Tiny beams, big impact!
Small, precise and bright electron beams form the heart of high-performance X-ray sources.
How we do it!
Combining high precision electron focusing optics, Tungsten/diamond transmission target technology controlled by advanced algorithm, and software. Easy and fast switching of different imaging modes can be done with high accuracy to optimize any measurement condition.
These beams enable unparalleled brightness and sharpness, powering X-ray sources for advanced imaging applications.
