C-Tech X-ray Tube

The XRD C-Tech X-ray Tube is designed and optimized for PANalytical's older generation of XRD diffractometers.


It is a ceramic version of the XRD Glass Tube, exhibiting the same wide range of applications whereby the ceramic technology enables better focal spot positioning. Like the glass tube, C-Tech will fit into any diffractometer brand.


Its main features are:

  • Ceramic technology
  • High tube power (up to 3 kW)
  • High emission current (up to 60 mA)
  • Various focus dimensions (LFF, others on request)
  • Various anode types (Cu, Co, Cr, Fe, Mo, other types on request)
