  • Model:

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.

Parameter
Information
