This X-ray tube delivers a 40-degree wide cone angle, providing a large field of view even at high magnifications. Designed for high-resolution imaging, it is ideal for cabinet X-ray systems and other applications that demand precision and clarity.
An optional industry-leading artifact-free beryllium window is available for enhanced image quality, particularly in low-contrast imaging where background and subject densities are closely matched. This makes the tube an excellent choice for advanced imaging tasks, including soft tissue biopsy applications.
