Download PDF Brochure

Oxford Instrument's series 1000 is a highly popular and proven side window x-ray tube. Currently in use for many industrial applications, the TF1000 series features an electron gun assembly packaged in a silicone formed material. This provides a limited amount of x-ray shielding, and should only be used in a suitable radiation shielded enclosure. The tube is to be operated in a positive anode mode with the filament grounded.

The standard exit window is either 3, 5 or 10 mil Be.
