Oxford Instruments DS059 Series 3000 30kV X-Ray Tube
3000 Series
X-RAY
The Oxford Instruments 3000 Series X-ray tube has been developed for high flux stability
and long life, making it ideal for continuous operation.
Technical Datasheet
A low cost answer for high spectral purity radiation, the 3000 Series is encapsulated in silicone rubber and
features a grounded cathode and low attenuation Beryllium window.
Features Benefits
Continuous operation High sensitivity and high
precision measurement
Beryllium window Higher flux of low-energy
X-rays, especially from target
L series lines
Compact, insulated Configuration allows
light-weight package flexible installation
Applications
Analytical (XRF) Soft X-ray Radiography
Particle Analysis Spectroscopy
Thickness Gauging Stress Analysis
