Flexible Design, Unyielding Performance

fleX-Beam™ is a unique, compact X-ray generator that combines a low-powered X-ray source and a precisely-aligned polycapillary optic to deliver a bright X-ray beam for advanced material analysis. fleX-Beam is available in several standard focused or collimated beam configurations and can also be customized for specific applications.

Industry-Leading Performance

fleX-Beam’s intensity is up to 10,000 times greater than conventional pinhole collimators
Focal spot as small as 5μm @ RhKa (20.162keV)
50 watt performance exceeds conventional kilowatt-powered X-ray tubes
Integrated safety shutter & 8-position filter wheel

Simple Integration

This comprehensive solution is compact and easily integrates with any instrument or system

Easy Serviceability & Field-Alignment

Innovative design allows for the ability to interchange different optics, as well as service the X-ray source in the field

Custom Solutions

fleX-Beam™ can be used in different applications where a compact X-ray source with high photon flux is required. Various configurations are available to be used in μ-XRF, diffraction, in-line process monitoring or in-situ analysis, and medical imaging applications. XOS provides custom fleX-Beam optics based on customer requirements.
