X-Ray Imaging

AAA

TECHNOLOGY

This center has successfully commercialized x-ray research by carving a product niche among the biggest manufacturers in the analytic instrument business. The ability to reflect and focus x-rays permit scientists to achieve remarkably high resolution when measuring minute objects. Experiments should begin soon on the compact x-ray laser, an instrument necessary for the success of the Strategic Defense Initiative. In addition to defense applications, advanced x-ray technology is used to detect trace materials in substances and would provide simpler, safer medical testing. Applications include:

  • Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE)
  • MultiLayer X-ray Optics
  • Leading edge technology in X-ray imaging
  • X-ray laser technology
  • Thin film technology and diagnostics
  • Bright x-ray sources
  • Electronic x-ray detectors
  • Damage resistant nano structures
  • Pure silicon production
