Mini-X is the first of its kind; a self-contained, packaged, miniature X-ray tube system, which includes the X-ray tube, the power supply, the control electronics and the USB communication to the computer. It is designed to replace radioisotopes in X-ray fluorescence analysis applications.
Mini-X has been designed to simplify the XRF process by providing a grounded anode, variable current and voltage controlled via USB and ease of operation. It features a 50 kV/80 µA power supply, a silver (Ag) or gold (Au) transmission target, and a beryllium end window. It is designed for continuous operation in industrial environments.
To further simplify the use of Mini-X an AC adaptor is provided to supply the 12 VDC needed to power the system. The only connections needed to operate the tube are a USB cable and AC adaptor. A flashing red LED and a beeper warns the user when x-rays are present.
