Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Excillum makes the world's brightest microfocus x-ray tubes, the MetalJet tubes. The MetalJet x-ray tubes are conventional microfocus tubes with the solid-metal anode replaced by a liquid-metal jet. A metal-jet anode is continuously regenerated and already in the molten stage. Thereby, the classical power limit of an x-ray source, when the anode is permanently damaged by the electron beam, no longer applies.

Within this programme the active participation at EPS and IUPAP conferences is financially supported. You will find more information and as well the application form on the DPG website: http://www.dpg-physik.de/programme/heraeus/internationale-tagungen-heraeus.html?lang=en& The organizers want to thank the EPS, the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation, Hanau and DPG e.V., Bad Honnef. |
