Mini Focus X-ray Tubes are X-ray tubes with a small focal spot size, typically on the order of microns, used for non-destructive X-ray inspection of industrial samples with high magnification and resolution. They are fully radiation shielded, high-voltage isolated, and include a high-voltage cable and filament wire. The bronze packaging (which is nickel-plated) offers radiation isolation and superb thermal properties. This allows for continuous operation without any compromise.

Where are mini-focus X-ray tubes used?

Mini-Focus X-ray Tubes are used in various applications, such as imaging, X-ray fluorescence, and thickness gauging. They are also often utilized in inline CT applications, optimizing focal spot size, power performance, and field of view. The Thermo Scientific DXS11 High-Resolution MiniFocus X-Ray Source is specifically designed for low-cost applications requiring moderate to high-resolution imaging of electronic assemblies and components, CT imaging for industrial and life sciences applications, and medical S.

The small focal spot size of Mini Focus X-ray tubes makes them ideal for high-resolution imaging of small features. They are commonly used in the inspection of casts and additive manufactured components in the automotive industry, the inspection of turbine blades in aerospace, and weld inspections.

Where else can mini-focus X-ray tubes be used?

They are also used in the sorting of ore, the inspection of battery packs and other critical components where reliability is of utmost importance, pipeline inspection and maintenance, and corrosion under isolation inspections. On top of that, mini-focus X-ray tubes are a valuable tool for non-destructive X-ray inspection of industrial samples with high magnification and resolution. And finally, these tubes are also used in other applications such as imaging, X-ray fluorescence, and thickness gauging.
