Request Information

Capillary focusing optics can be designed to collect X-rays from a divergent source over a large solid angle and produce an intense converging beam with a sub-millimeter focal spot. The optics can have rectangular, circular, or custom input and output cross sections. The typical source-to-optic distances are 50-200 mm.

Most optics are designed for use with common sources such as Al K-alpha (1.48 keV), or Cu K-alpha (8.04 keV), or Mo K-alpha (17.47 keV). Optics design and performance is a function of x-ray energy, source-to-optic distance, optic-to-sample distance, source size and orientation, capture angle, and desired focal spot size. Potential applications include X-ray fluorescence, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and sample-to-detector focusing.
