X-RAY WorX has developed an innovative internal cooling for microfocus transmission tubes of the new product line TCNF. The new technology reduces the movement of the focal spot by more than 90% compared to the previously used external cooling.
Microfocus transmission tubes of the product line TCNF are mainly used for highest-resolution computed tomography (CT) with resolutions less than one micron (µm). Typical fields of application are e.g. research and development as well as semiconductor industry. To achieve detailed and sharp high resolution cross-sections, it is very important to maintain a stable focal spot position during the entire scanning time. The external cooling, which was previously developed by X-RAY WorX, already provided improved results compared to X-ray tubes without cooling. Now, the new internal cooling reduces movement of the focal spot by an additional amount of 90%.
