Complete control of voltage, power, and focus

Dynamic status display

Dynamic fault display

Ideal for R&D applications

Open software architecture allows for modification

with available additional development software

The UltraBright 96000 Series is a fully integrated 90kV X-ray source. Its high voltage power supply and controller provide variable control of high voltage from 10-90kV and beam current from .33-2 milliamps with full control of “Brightness”. The Smart Controller calculates spot size for a given power setting for maximum flux output.

Voltage and current rating (90kV, 2.0mA) are subject to maximum power dissipation rating of 80W. The X-ray tube assembly is sealed, air-cooled, and rated for continuous operation.

X-ray microfocus spot size is continuously adjustable from 14µm to 20µm. Power de-rating is provided at small spot sizes but source power is greater than or equal to 20W for a 20µm spot size.

The anode target material is comprised of Tungsten as standard, however other targets are available (Cu, Mo). The target is inclined at a takeoff angle of 15 degrees with respect to the electron beam, and the exit window is aligned at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the electron beam, so that a round microfocus X-ray spot is projected through the exit window.

The stability of the microfocus X-ray spot shall be less than 5µm RMS over a period of 8 hours, as verified by test. A warm- up time of up to two hours is necessary in order to meet this specification.

The system is supplied with a 254 micron Be exit window, allowing for close coupling (4mm) of object with the anode X-ray spot.

LabVIEW RT Software Interface: The Smart Controller is outfitted with a software package that provides remote control of the various functions, such as kV, mA, Brightness, power etc. It includes an RS232 Communication package and an RT version of National Instruments LabVIEW. See Software control datasheet for complete description.

The Nova 96000 Series is a fully integrated 90kV X-ray source. Its high voltage power supply and controller provide variable control of high voltage from 10-90kV and beam current from .33-2 milliamps with full control of “Brightness”. The Smart Controller calculates spot size for a given power setting for maximum flux output.

Voltage and current rating (90kV, 2.0mA) are subject to maximum power dissipation rating of 80W. The X-ray tube assembly is sealed, water-cooled, and rated for continuous operation.

X-ray microfocus spot size is continuously adjustable from 14µm to 20µm. Power de-rating is provided at small spot sizes but source power is greater than or equal to 20W for a 20µm spot size.

The anode target material is comprised of Tungsten as standard, however a molybdenum target is also available. The target is inclined at a takeoff angle of 15 degrees with respect to the electron beam, and the exit window is aligned at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the electron beam, so that a round microfocus X-ray spot is projected through the exit window.

The stability of the microfocus X-ray spot shall be less than 5µm RMS over a period of 8 hours, as verified by test. A warm-up time of up to two hours is necessary in order to meet this specification.

The system is supplied with a 254 micron Be exit window, allowing for close coupling (4mm) of object with the anode X-ray spot.

LabVIEW RT Software Interface: The Smart Controller is outfitted with a software package that provides remote control of the various functions, such as kV, mA, Brightness, power etc. It includes an RS232 Communication package and an RT version of National Instruments LabVIEW. See Software control datasheet for complete description.

The Apogee 5500 Series is a 50kV, 50 Watt packaged X-ray tube designed for applicationswhere high flux density and continuous operation are important.

Utilizing our high stability, high intensity X-ray tube technology coupled with grid-controlled variable

focus enables our Apogee design to produce very small focal spots; this makes the Apogee 5500 Series

ideal for most industrial inspection and non-destructive testing applications that require high

resolution, including PCB assembly, battery, plastic, metal and mechanical parts inspection.

Flexible and reliable, this unit is also well suited for use with X-ray optics.

The Apogee 5500 Series is configured in a compact stainless steel, lead-

lined package filled with dielectric oil, which enables the unit to provide

maximum X-ray shielding and heat dissipation. The design includes high

voltage and filament connectors, making it ideal for plug and play operation.

Typical X-ray Spectra by Anode Material

Summary

Oxford Instruments offers X-ray tubes with different anode materials designed to suit a wide variety of applications. The anode

material defines an X-ray tube’s characteristic spectrum. This application note shows the typical spectra of several different

anode materials. The spectra provided are for reference only; your spectrum may differ from these according to the particular

model of detector you are using, the geometry of your measurement setup, and the voltage and current on your X-ray tube.

X-ray Spectrum Theory

X-ray production involves bombarding a metal target in an X-ray tube with high-speed electrons that have been accelerated by

tens to hundreds of kilovolts of electric potential. The electrons can eject other electrons from the inner shells of the atoms of

the metal anode. Those vacancies will be filled when electrons drop down from higher energy levels and emit X-rays. These

are known as characteristic X-rays and they have sharply defined energies associated with the difference between the atomic

energy levels of the anode atoms. The Bohr atomic model predicts the energies of the characteristic X-rays. An X-ray spectrum

is partially defined by the “peaks” or “lines” that result from bombarding different anode materials with highly accelerated

electrons.

In addition to the characteristic peaks, an X-ray spectrum also has a background radiation pattern called the “Bremsstrahlung.”

Bremsstrahlung means “braking radiation” and describes the radiation that is emitted when electrons are decelerated through

a metal anode. The deceleration leaves behind excess energy, some of which is emitted in the form of radiation. Decelerated

charges give off electromagnetic radiation, and when the energy of the electrons is high enough, that radiation is in the X-ray

region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Thus, the X-ray spectrum that is emitted from your X-ray tube is a combination of the characteristic peaks of the specific anode

material and the Bremsstrahlung radiation that is present in all X-ray tubes.

Experimental Setup

The following spectra were gathered

by pointing Oxford Instruments X-Ray

Technology’s tubes directly at a

Si-PIN photodiode detector system.

There are a total of approximately one

million counts in each spectrum.

Conclusion

Some applications may require different settings than the typical “full power” at which most customers operate their X-ray tubes.

By following the guidelines in this document, you may be able to achieve more desirable conditions for your application that still

fall within the operating range constraints. In summary, to achieve the best possible conditions for your application, operate your

X-ray tube within the constraints of maximum filament current, maximum power, and minimum and maximum anode voltage as

described above.

Application Note

Summary

An X-ray tube is constrained in its operating range by four factors – maximum filament current, maximum power delivered to

the anode, and maximum and minimum anode voltage. By operating your X-ray tube within these parameters, you may be able

to achieve better results for your specific application while ensuring maximum longevity of your X-ray tube. This application

note clarifies the constraints above and shows how an operating range is constructed. You can find all the particular values for

your X-ray tube described in this application note on the datasheet.

Maximum Filament Current

The maximum filament current is a very strict constraint that prevents the filament from burning out, just like the filament in an

incandescent light bulb. Like any other wire, a filament will melt because it cannot dissipate the heat generated from excessive

current. Oxford Instruments X-Ray Technology has conducted extensive testing to determine the maximum current the filament

in your X-ray tube can withstand. A typical value is 1.7A, but this value varies by filament type and is given on the datasheet

that comes with your X-ray tube. It constrains the first part of the operating range before the maximum power requirement

takes over.

Maximum Power

Like the filament current limit, the power limit is a strict constraint that prevents the target from sublimating. An X-ray tube

accelerates a very narrow beam of electrons to the target with a total power P = IV, where I is the beam current (not to be

confused with the filament current – the current delivered to the filament itself) and V is the anode voltage. As you can see, this

total power limit does not necessarily prevent using a higher beam current or voltage at a given power. Because beam current

and voltage are inversely proportional in this relationship, raising one and lowering the other may still allow you to operate the

X-ray tube within the maximum power constraint. Keep in mind that the anode voltage is limited as well, as detailed below.

The maximum power constraint takes over after the filament limit is no longer a factor in the operating range.

Minimum and Maximum Anode Voltage

An X-ray tube requires a minimum high voltage applied to the anode in order to draw off electrons from the filament. When

this condition is satisfied, the beam of electrons will form and accelerate towards the target. Below the minimum anode

voltage, electrons will not be drawn off the filament, and thus the tube will produce no X-rays. At voltages lower than the

minimum, some power supplies will overdrive (and potentially melt) the filament in an attempt to produce beam current when

there are no electrons available. It is extremely important that you do not attempt to obtain beam current below this minimum

anode voltage to avoid damaging the filament. On the other hand, the X-ray tube can only stand off a maximum high voltage

applied to the anode. Beyond this voltage, arcing will occur and this can severely damage your X-ray tube. Both the minimum

and maximum high voltages are sharp cut-offs that form the left and right edges of the operating range.

X-RAY X-ray Fluorescence Periodic TableApplication Note

Application

For X-ray tubes that have been in storage or inactive for a period of three months or more.

Description

After a period of not being used, typically three months or more, residual gasses are released from the internal surfaces of the X-ray tube and accumulate into the tube vacuum. If the maximum rated voltage (in kV) is applied after a period of storage without performing a conditioning procedure, permanent damage to the X-ray tube may occur due to the destructive nature of high voltage arcs in the ionized gas. The following conditioning procedure is appropriate for both “new tubes”, as there may have been a period of storage, as well as tubes that have been stored for three months or more.

Procedure

To prevent this damage the following special conditioning process should be followed:

• Adjust the kV to the lowest kV that your specific tube is rated for. Set the beam current to 0 mA and if any instability isnoted on the mA meter allow it to stabilize to display 0mA. Operate at this condition for a minimum of 15 minutes.

• While maintaining the kV set in the previous step, adjust the beam current to 20% of rated maximum. Maintain this settingfor 5 minutes or longer, until no instability is noted on the mA meter.

• Increase high voltage in 5kV steps at 5 minute intervals until 50% of maximum rated kV is reached. Hold 5 minutes at theseconditions.

• Increase beam current to maximum rated mA.

• Continue to increase high voltage as before, in 5kV steps every 5 minutes until maximum rated kV or your maximum operat-ing kV is reached. Allow at least 5 minutes at full power to insure that the tube is operating correctly in your system.

Note

If instability (especially loud popping) is observed, lower the kV setting to the previous step. Allow mA to stabilize for at least 5 minutes before increasing settings again.
