Introducing MIRRORCLE-6X

Mirrorcle-6X picture



  MIRRORCLE-6X is the world's smallest synchrotron. It is small enough to fit in a most industrial and laboratory environments, yet powerful enough to satisfy many demanding X-ray requirements. MIRRORCLE-6X explores new levels in price vs performance, and makes the possibility of owning a synchrotron a reality.
  European commission have adopted Research Infrastructures to establish "MIRRORCLE EU center" in Europe. Five organizations with Katholieke Universiteit Leuven as a center design beamlines.

MIRRORCLE-6X uses 6 MeV electrons colliding with a tungsten micro target to generate brilliant broadband X-rays via bremsstrahlung. The standard size 1 μm size target can be reduced in size to  0.1 μm for applications that require it. Target size determines X-ray imaging resolution, so target size is important for high quality X-ray imaging.

MIRRORCLE-6X is a production product that is ready to meet your requirements today. Please contact us for more information.
