The Evolution of Polycapillary Optics
31 Jan 2019The concept of polycapillary optics was introduced in the late 1980’s. During this time, XOS and a few other groups around the world conducted extensive research and development to significantly improve the optic manufacturing process. As a result, XOS became a leading global manufacturer of highperformance X-ray polycapillary optics and excitation systems. Today, polycapillary X-ray optics are used as key components in high-end X-ray analytical instruments and have dramatically enhanced system performance.

Spectroscopy LampsMonochromators, filters and spectroscopy lamps are available for specific applications of spectroscopy instruments. Available spectroscopy lamps include xenon, hollow cathode, ultraviolet, tungsten, halogen, mercury and deuterium.X-Ray Diffraction and SpectroscopyX-Ray diffraction & spectroscopy are used in material characterization to discern the structure and elemental composition of a sample. X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
