3000 Series

X-RAY
Technical Datasheet

The Oxford Instruments 3000 Series X-ray tube has been developed for high flux stability
and long life, making it ideal for continuous operation.
A low cost answer for high spectral purity radiation, the 3000 Series is encapsulated in silicone rubber and
features a grounded cathode and low attenuation Beryllium window.
