High overall intensity and light element performance
The SST has a high overall intensity and a superior performance on light elements, due to:
- Close optical coupling with sharp tube nose
- High tube power (1 - 4kW versions)
- High emission current (up to 125mA)
- Thin beryllium window (75 µm)
- Various anode types available

Long tube life and high stability
The design of the SST tube is based on ceramic technology and proven cathode technology. This ensures high short-term stability of X-ray output and long tube life.
