Beamstops are miniature cylinders which block X-rays. They are predominantly used in X-ray microscopy. We offer a framed array of beamstops in various diameters. These beamstops are uniquely freestanding, which allows them to be used from a few 100 eV to several keV.
Watch this video to see how our beamstop are made.
Standard Beamstops
The device consists of 16 beamstops with different diameters.
Parameter
Information
Gold Thickness
>80µm
Beamstop
10µm to 160µm in increment of 10µm
Open Area Diameter
650µm
Carrier Membrane
None (freestanding)
Each cylinder is supported by 3 thin fins of 2.5µm width
Total Device Size
4.5mm x 4.5mm
Mounting Hints
Beamsops of gold are sufficiently stable
so that the device can be clamped in simple holders
Custom Beamstops
We offer custom beamstops made to your specifications.Options include particular gold heights, beamstop diameters, and open area diameters.
