The Microstar Ultra is a bright x-ray source for structural biology that is comparable in brightness to many second-generation synchrotron beams. Featuring advanced electron optics and the patent-pending Hypercool anode cooling design, the Microstar Ultra produces x-ray intensities of 8 × 10~(10) x-rays/mm~2/sec, higher than any conventional rotating anode generator. This increase in performance is beneficial for all aspects of in-house crystallographic research, from high-throughput crystal screening to structural determination. It makes the instrument suitable for analyzing even the smallest crystals. The unit is compact and low maintenance, and offers an affordable path for existing Microstar generators to be upgraded to the Ultra.
