Words of WelcomeAlfred Reinhold
… X-RAY WorX is a group of highly experienced and
competent experts, partly working in this business from the
very beginning of microfocus technology.
As the founder of the former company Feinfocus, that
introduced the first microfocus X-ray system for industrial
application with focal spot sizes below 5µm, I highly
appreciate the pioneering spirit of the young team of X-RAY
WorX…
Alfred Reinhold,
Pioneer of Microfocus X-ray Technology (February 2010)Source: http://www.alf-reinhold.de/
