MICROSTAR - Micro-focus X-ray source
- MICROSTAR
The choice has never been simpler: the MICROSTAR generator sets the new standard for intensity, economy, ease-of-use and reliability. By combining next-generation electron optics, modern anode design and highly optimized X-ray optics, we are able to generate X-ray intensities which are comparable to those of second-generation synchrotron beam lines.
Simply put, the MICROSTAR puts more X-rays onto your sample to give you better data quality and higher resolution. Best of all, the MICROSTAR delivers its extraordinary performance without sacrificing reliability or ease-of-use.
"... the MICROSTAR beam now causes radiation damage to crystals at the level of a small bending magnet beamline. Room T data collection from protein crystals is out of the question, and even on frozen samples, after 2-3 days exposure to the beam, when you take them out of the cold stream, the crystals just 'explode'." - Pedro Matias, ITQB, Portugal, October 8th 2007

MICROSTAR-H II
Get even more photons on your sample with the new, improved MICROSTAR-H II!
Taking advantage of the latest innovations in electron beam focusing the MICROSTAR-H II delivers a much more brilliant beam than the first generation MICROSTAR. The unique coupling of the MICROSTAR-H II with our HELIOSTM optics produces an high quality beam with more intensity and excellent uniformity. And yet, it is simpler to use and less expensive to operate than most conventional rotating anodes. The outstanding intensity and stability of the MICROSTAR-H II make it ideal for the most demanding SAD experiments or for high-throughput screening of the smallest crystals.
- Ultra-high intensity: up to 8 x 1010 X-rays/mm2 -sec, (more than an order of magnitude higher than conventional rotating anodes)
