EXVC X-ray collimator kit

To accommodate applications where the X-ray flux is too high for both the detector and the electronics processing the X-ray spectrum, we have developed a "Collimator Kit" to collimate the primary X-ray beam._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_This system consists of the EXVC collimator housing that slides over the X-123's 1.5-inch extender.

 

The EXVC collimator housing can accommodate up to two tungsten (W) collimator disks which fit inside a bayonet mount in front of the detector. By selecting the appropriate tungsten collimator disks, the user can reduce the incoming X-ray flux and allow the detector and electronics to process the X-ray spectrum. Seven different tungsten collimating disks with different sized holes are provided to allow for a wide range of applications .

 

The EXVC collimator housing is made of stainless steel and can also be used inside a vacuum chamber.

 

EXVC Collimator Kit Includes:

 

• Stainless steel collimator housing
• brass spacer
• Tripod and mounting plate (included when ordering for use with the standard 1.5-inch extension box)
• Laser pointer
• 5 tungsten collimating discs (W):
  • 1 mm thick with 25 µm hole
  • 1 mm thick with 50 µm hole
  • 2 mm thick with 400 µm hole
  • 2 mm thick with 1000 µm hole
  • 2 mm thick with 2000 µm hole

 

All tungsten discs are made of HD17 alloy (90% W, 6% Ni, 4% Cu).

 

All tungsten discs and spacers are 0.625 inch in diameter.

 

Optional: EXVC-W-SPACER

This tungsten spacer/collimator (W) is 36 mm thick with a 300 µm bore. It is designed to stop and collimate X-rays greater than 150 keV that are produced from tubes of high energy.
