Oxford medical x-ray-tubes
Welcome to the products page for medical X-Ray Technology, below you will find a list of our product areas and links
to the relevant pages to find out more information about our x-ray tubes and other products.
It
is also possible to find the product you require by viewing our product by specification page. Please click on the link below:
The X-ray tubes are usually custom designed for specific original equipment manufacturer (OEM) accounts.
Typical products are
described below, and can be supplied as glass envelopes, potted, or packaged devices to customer specifications.
Bare Tubes (X-ray tube only)
These are the simplest products manufactured by XTG.
The tube is shipped with no post finishing. They are typically found in products where the customer provides the integration. Tubes are available with and without Be transmitting windows.
- 1500 Windowless Series
a highly popular
and proven windowless industrial and medical x-ray tube specifically designed for industrial and medical fluoroscopy as well as bone densitometry applications
- 1600 Windowless Series
an 80kV X-ray
tube designed to be operated in a negative (-80kV), positive (+80kV) or bi-polar (+/- 40kV) mode operation. Intended for both medical and industrial imaging application, the series 1600 features the
capacity for small spot size as well as excellent protection necessary when operating at high potential. Included with each x-ray tube is the Oxford Instrument's exclusive pin shielded getter designed to
maximize operational lifetime.
- 1800 Windowless Series
a 100kV X-ray
tube designed to be operated in a 60/40 kV bi-polar mode
of operation. Intended for both medical and industrial imaging application, the series 1800 features a small spot size as well as excellent protection necessary when operating at high potential
Grounded (target) Anode x-ray Tubes
Again no post finishing but the grounded target, negative gun configuration. Grounded
target designs are often preferred where customers are interested in high power output such as real-time measurements in strip mills. These systems are often sold with integral water cooling facilities.
- 7000 Series
This grounded target end window glass body tube is built specifically for medical X-ray imaging
systems. The design has been improved to meet the exacting requirements in the filed of medical imaging.
- Mini Focus Products
These tubes can be supplied as glass envelopes, potted in silicone compound or
in a packaged form depending on design and operating conditions. These tubes have a positive anode (target), grounded filament configuration and a choice of either 10 mil or 5 mil thick Be transmission window.
- GT3050 Series
The GT (grounded target) model is designed for high flux applications where spot sizes above 1mm
are acceptable. In use for many industrial applications
Silicone Potted x-ray Tubes
Simple low power, high
reliability, X-Ray tubes typically found in bench top X-Ray fluorescence as well as thickness gauging in paper and films. Potted tubes are sealed in a silicone material making handling and cooling easily achievable in a compact environment.
TF 1000 Series
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.
Packaged x-ray tubes
Packaged tubes are similar to potted
tubes with the notable exception of greater power, and higher operating potential. Typically up to 100W and 50kV tubes are found in off-line thickness gauging and printed circuit board inspection systems, as well as XRF and some radiography applications.
XTF 5000 Series
One of our most popular products, the 5000 series is a highly stable, reliable side window X-ray tube. The glass envelope is packaged in a
lead-lined housing providing x-ray shielding to 0.25 m R/hr at 2 inches. The tube is also filled with a special heat dissipating oil to maximize longevity.
All of our minifocus x-ray tubes are available as a small spot high performance model (HP). Spot sizes to 30 microns now in production for TF, XTF
and series 1500.
Microfocus x-ray Sources
Our newest product line, produces spot sizes of less than 10 micron with power from a
few watts and potentials up to 90Kv in a completely integrated tube and power supply package. Check out the full page on this exciting new x-ray source from XTG.
Power Supplies
Oxford Instruments works closely with the leading power supply manufacturers to provide
a complete source of power supplies for our x-ray tubes. Follow the links below for the appropriate information on these products.
X-ray sources for fluoroscopy
- 1500 Windowless Series
a highly popular and proven windowless
industrial and medical x-ray tube specifically designed for industrial and medical fluoroscopy as well as bone densitometry applications
- Cold Cathode X-ray Tube
Oxford Instrument’s Cold Cathode
project has been designed specifically for those applications requiring x-ray photons in a portable environment. These applications include portable fluoroscopy and field portable X-ray fluorescence
spectroscopy. This unique X-ray tube requires no filament power to supply ample X-ray flux, and unlike other similar
projects provides excellent short term stability along with acceptable long term stability. The x-ray tube is available in either an all ceramic model (above) or with a Be window.
