Carbon Nanotube CNT X-ray Tube Beryllium Window
Carbon Nanotube (CNT) X-ray tubes are cutting-edge electron sources that utilize field emission from carbon nanotubes to produce highly focused and controllable X-rays. When combined with an ultra-thin beryllium window, these tubes offer high transmission efficiency and minimal X-ray attenuation, making them ideal for low-energy and high-resolution imaging applications.
