X-ray Application NotesWelcome to the Moxtek® X-ray Application Notes section. Here you can find product application specifics, optimal product performance level information, as well as cleaning and handling instructions. All application notes are available in PDF form for your viewing convenience.
Corrosion Resistance of DuraBeryllium® Plus X-ray Windows (Part 1)X-ray spectroscopy applications and equipment are becoming more portable and are entering harsh environments away from controlled clean environments. This results in a need for more robust X-ray components which are able to handle harsh environments. We are measuring the resistance of different X-ray windows produced by Moxtek Inc. to corrosive and harsh environments. VIEW PDF

JFET Application Note: Reset TransistorThe Moxtek JFET chips include a secondary PNP "reset transistor" which can be used to remove charge that accumulates on the JFET gate. VIEW PDF
Guidelines for Designing a Mount for DuraBeryllium X-ray WindowsDuraBeryllium windows can be attached with a high temperature metal diffusion bond or using a vacuum compatible epoxy. VIEW PDF
Guidelines for Cleaning AP3 X-ray WindowsAP3 X-ray Windows are very thin. Care should be taken while handling these windows. The guidelines below should be strictly followed in order to protect the window from damage. VIEW PDF
Corrosion Resistance of X-ray Windows- DuraBeryllium® PlusDuraBeryllium® Plus windows successfully withstand continuous exposure to heated water as well as to other chemicals. A series of tests were completed on DuraBeryllium windows as seen in the test summary below. Part 1 of this application note details exposure of DuraBeryllium Plus to water, KOH, and HCl. Part 2 will be released later in 2011 and will include details of exposure of this window to other harsh chemicals. VIEW PDF
