Fluourex A Near Mono-Energetic X-Ray Source For Quantitative measurements

摘要

Even 100 years after Dr. Roentgen's detection, the basic X-rya tube design is nearly unchanged. A broad spectrum of poly-energetic X-rays is generated by deceleration of electrons in heavy metal, superimposed by the characteristic fluorescence liens of that material. Several physical effects, e.g. absorption and scattering, are energy-depending. a mono-energetic source, like a radio-nuclide, offers several advantages for numerous applications.
