Oxford Instruments Shasta 2 series power supply features a robust design that has been optimized to power grounded filament X-ray tubes from Oxford Instruments, yet its versatility enables it to power virtually any grounded filament X-ray tube.
Utilizing closed loop emission control circuitry that delivers low ripple, Shasta provides highly regulated beam current and high stability resulting in superior performance. Local and remote analog control enables convenient operation in setting voltage & emission current.
Models with grid focus control are designed to provide optimal performance with our Apogee tubes.
