X-ray central beamstop
Based on mature LIGA technology, Microworks' beamstops are versatile, cost-effective, and high-performance. They are used in the wavelength range from 1000 nm to 0.01 nm (1 eV to 100 keV).

Introduction
For the wavelength range from 1000 nm to 0.01 nm (1 eV to 100 keV)
Since feature sizes can be as small as the micrometer scale, X-ray lithography has become a highly attractive manufacturing method. Microworks, a company from Germany, is a market leader in advancing LIGA technology and offers customers high-quality, high-precision microstructures at reasonable prices.
Based on mature LIGA technology, Microworks' beamstops are versatile, cost-effective, and offer superior performance. Used for zone plate imaging, beamstop sizes range from 10 μm to 160 μm. Self-supporting structure, with a cylindrical beamstop carried by three thin fins.
