70 kV, 10 W X-ray Monoblock

The M237 x-ray monoblock is a fully integrated 70 kV, 10 W x-ray generator designed specifically to be used as component of a handheld, portable, or bench-top x-ray instrument. The source includes a miniature sealed x-ray tube with a transmission-type end window, a high voltage power supply, and control electronics contained in a compact grounded enclosure.

Features

  • Optimized for x-ray imaging and high energy XRF applications
  • Compact, lightweight design – ideal for portable and bench-top instruments
  • Low power consumption – compatible with battery operation
  • Integrated design – no high voltage cables
  • Fully machined metal enclosure – precision mounting and alignment
  • Patented X-ray Omnishield™ – fully self-shielded with lightweight radiation shielding
  • Wide cone angle – 110 degree full width standard x-ray cone angle
