Microfocus X-ray source: Primux 50
Primux 50 is the latest microfocus X-ray source developed by X-ray experts from AXO DRESDEN and Anton Paar. It can be used with various tailored focusing or collimating multilayer X-ray optics to provide an optimized beam for all applications. Due to their compact design, Primux 50 sources and optics can be used in customized setups or as an upgrade for existing systems.
