Soft x-rays (SXR) for water-window microscopy and other applications have not readily been available outside synchrotron facilities. Now, soft x-rays can be produced in any research laboratory at flux levels suitable for imaging and microprobing, thanks to a new lab-scale source from Energetiq.
The Energetiq EQ-10SXR is a compact, easy-to-use, reliable and cost-effective SXR light source system, based on Energetiq’s unique Electrodeless Z-pinch™ technology using Nitrogen gas.
Unique Patented electrodeless design
- Low debris / low consumable cost
2-4nm Soft X-Rays produced using Nitrogen
- Enables tabletop SXR microscope applications
Small plasma size
- <1mm diameter for high brightness
Cost-effective and compact
- Low cost per SXR Watt
- Small footprint
