Pt-coated twin paraboloidal laboratory capillary high energy X-ray optics
The novel X-ray optics, composed of twin paraboloidal capillaries coated with platinum, aim to transform the landscape of laboratory X-ray sources. Unlike existing technologies, these optics are designed to focus X-rays with photon energies up to 40 keV, providing an achromatic focused beam. The research delves into the performance of these optics under various operational conditions, comparing energy-photon count spectra of direct and focused beams.
