Inert and stable beryllium windows is a good choice for X-ray applications. Be window protects the detector from contamination and damage as well as minimizes any interference with the X-ray signal being detected. Insoptics produces beryllium windows with high level of customization.
Applications
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF)
The window allows X-rays to pass through and reach the detector without being significantly attenuated or absorbed.
X-ray diffraction (XRD)
Beryllium X-ray windows maintain a vacuum in the X-ray detector to minimize X-ray scattering and absorption by air molecules and other contaminants.
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)
The window allows X-rays to enter the detector while blocking other particles, such as electrons, that could interfere with the X-ray radiation.
Low attenuation and interference with X-rays
Low attenuation and interference with X-rays are desirable characteristics in many applications. Our materials that exhibit low attenuation allow X-rays to pass through with the minimal loss of intensity, resulting in clearer and more detailed data.
Chemical inertia and long-term stability
Chemical inertia is important in scientific research and development, particularly in the development of advanced technologies such as X-ray detectors. This application requires materials that can maintain their physical and chemical properties over extended periods, even when exposed to challenging environments.
