X-Ray Tube Improvements for Better Performance in an Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer System
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
Improvements in x-ray tube technology for the low-power tubes used in energy-dispersive XRF systems can provide better performance. These improvements are occurring in six areas: thin-window tubes, lower kV capability, higher kV and mA capability, pulsed tubes, smaller focal spots, and miniaturization. These improvements will lead to better excitation of the light elements, analysis of low-mass samples, higher count rates, small spot analysis, and smaller systems.
