Researchers get 'compact' hard X-ray machine to work
After years of research, TU/e scientists Jom Luiten and Peter Mutsaers and their team have successfully generated high-quality hard X-rays with a compact device.
“The physical principle with which the electrons shake back and forth is the same as with a large synchrotron, whether at a kilometer or micrometer scale,” Luiten explains. Luiten: “This mid-range capability also makes this source suitable for looking into paintings, silicon wafers, or biological material without damaging it. In addition to the research of the Smart*Light 2.0 consortium, work is being done on a compact 'mid-range' X-ray source in about five other places around the world.
