Current techniques in x-ray microscopy, crystallography and small angle x-ray scattering require extremely well collimated beams. In order to achieve the best signal to noise ratio in an x-ray system, the aperture size should be as closely matched as possible to the sample size.

Most x-ray systems use a pinhole aperture that has been drilled or laser ablated from a tungsten or tantalum disk of material. In practice this means that for every new sample size, the pinhole should be removed and a new size needs to be inserted.

With the PureEdge system you can achieve virtually scatter free collimation combined with a variable aperture and visual alignment tool. 

Compatibility and Flexibility

Ease of integration is essential to any laboratory upgrade. The compact size of the piezosystem jenasystem makes it a convenient drop-in solution to your current beamline, or other x-ray source.
