XRD X-ray tubes

Proto’s x-ray tubes are designed, manufactured, and tested under the strictest quality protocols, resulting in bright, low-maintenance x-ray tubes that are robust enough to handle the most demanding diffraction experiments. Whether customers are looking for a complete system or a replacement x-ray tube for an existing system, Proto has the experience and production capacity to meet their needs.

Our standard x-ray tubes are optimized for x-ray diffraction (XRD), and they are available in a number of sizes, power ratings, and configurations. The x-ray tubes have various options for anodes, including Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Mo, Ag, and W; filament focus, including fine, long-fine, normal, and broad; and window configurations.
