MicroMax-003

Microfocus High-Intensity Sealed Tube X-ray Source

X-ray source component for X-ray diffraction and crystallography

The MicroMax-003 is a third generation microfocus sealed tube X-ray generator. It is the perfect X-ray source for someone who wants the benefits of a microfocus X-ray source (low power consumption and long tube life) without the added maintenance that goes along with a more powerful rotating anode microfocus X-ray source.

MicroMax-003 Overview

The MicroMax-003 consists of a tightly coupled microfocus generator and specially designed confocal multilayer optic to provide an extremely low-maintenance system. With performance that exceeds that of the previous generation of 5.4 kW RU rotating anode generators, the MicroMax-003 is the perfect upgrade path for users of these systems.

Virtually any analysis, such as protein crystallography, small molecule diffraction, XRD, XRF, SAXS, etc., can be enhanced with a MicroMax-003F source that combines the straightforward source head design with a carefully chosen optic.

Engineered for productivity

Productivity can be measured in many ways but the up-time of a system is perhaps one of the most important issues. The MicroMax-003 will run maintenance free for years, and when you do have to change an X-ray tube, it has been designed to be as easy as a standard sealed tube X-ray source.

Designed for flexibility

Featuring a built-in multilayer optic, the MicroMax-003 can be integrated into a number of different X-ray systems. This source a great complement for labs that have ready access to synchrotrons as well as limited maintenance resources.

X-ray wavelengths include Cu, Mo, Ag, Au, Cr and Rh.

A further advantage of the MicroMax-003 is the “green” aspect. By using a microfocus spot with an optimally designed, closely-coupled optic, the MicroMax-003 produces a high-brilliance beam while consuming much less energy than a conventional X-ray source.

MicroMax-003 Features

Very small beam, less than 100 microns at the crystal, provides superior signal to noise
3 year warranty on the tube reduces cost of ownership
Integrated optics are optimized for the detector type (HPAD or IP)
Easy access, simple alignment controls
High-speed rotary shutter
Available in a wide variety of wavelength/optic combinations
Stable spot position and hardware design minimize the need to realign
Sealed optics housing eliminates the need for an external vacuum pump
Integrated Confocal MaxFlux double bounce optic. The double-bounce μCMF optics provide up to 70X better Cu Kβ suppression than single bounce optics, providing a beam with less noise, lower divergence and more intensity, allowing for more accurate data collection on small crystal samples
