X-ray Diffraction Tubes

SEIFERT Analytical X-ray

SEIFERT Analytical X-ray oers a wide array of X-ray
Tube types and anode materials to deliver the appropri­ate wavelength (λ) and match a variety of user applica­tion requirements.

The choice of anode material can be determined by the
desired wavelength and uorescence radiation of the
components under investigation (Table 3). Appropriate
Filters, necessary to cut out K-beta radiation, are listed in
Table 2.

SEIFERT Analytical X-ray tubes are available with Fine,
Long Fine, Normal or Broad Spot focus. Micro focus is
available upon request.

Fig. 1 point focus / line focus

Tubes have four Beryllium windows with a diameter of
14 mm and a thickness of just 300 µm.

Two windows deliver point focus and two deliver line fo­cus for maximum versatility (Fig. 1). Five dierent spot
sizes are available.

A Broad focus tube is preferred if intensity is the only
major requirement. However, in most powder diractom­etry applications both high diraction line resolution and
high intensity are required. In this case, a Long Fine focus
tube is ideal because it combines the focal width of the
Fine focus tube with the length of the Broad focus tube.
