X-Ray Applications

X-ray researchers involved in applications as diverse as plasma diagnostics, EUV lithography, microscopy, and tomography depend on state-of-the-art X-ray detection equipment. As the world's leading supplier of scientific X-ray imaging and spectroscopy instruments, Princeton Instruments offers the widest selection, including soft X-ray and hard X-ray detection systems (energy ranging between < 30 eV and > 50 eV). We also have indirect and direct detection systems ideally suited to your specific requirements. Please contact us for a complimentary analysis of your requirement.

X-Ray Plasma Diagnostics Plasmas have technological and industrial significance in research areas such as laser fusion, EUV and soft X-ray lasers, lithography, and other areas well known for concentrated energy densities.	$X-ray Diffraction$	X-Ray Diffraction X-ray diffraction is a useful technique for studying the characteristics of macro molecules, crystals, powders, polymers, fibers, etc.
EUV Lithography EUV lithography is the clear choice of major lithography tool suppliers. High resolution and wide dynamic range are some of the key requirements for these detection systems.		X-Ray Spectroscopy X-ray absorption spectroscopy is an element-specific probe of the local structure of elements in a material. A wide variety of solid and liquid samples can be examined directly and non-destructively with this application.
Streak Tube Readout A "streak tube" readout is commonly used to obtain intensity vs. spatial or spectral information over time periods of picoseconds to nanoseconds.		Micro CT Micro Computer Tomography is a unique technique for the noninvasive, nondestructive 3D characterization of materials down to a micrometer scale.
Soft X-Ray Microscopy X-ray Microscopy is used for imaging the elemental composition and structure of biological samples and more.
