Our main product line embraces a variety of compound refractive x-ray lenses (CRLs) used to focus and collimate hard x rays, and image objects using hard x rays. The lenses have been experimentally shown to operate in energy ranges from 4 to 80 keV, at focal lengths as small as 5 cm, with numerical apertures of 10-3 or better. These operational ranges can be further extended.

Adelphi’s refractive lenses focus x rays in the same way as visible light lenses. Thus, unlike reflective optics, the lens is located in-line with the optical system. For imaging applications, the lenses yield high-resolution images independent of source size, allowing the use of greater source intensities. Our x-ray lenses, like the ones widely used in visible optics, serve as a simple tool for the x-ray experimenter and technologist.

There are numerous applications for CRLs in a vast variety of industries. They can be used to collimate or focus monochromatic x-ray radiation; to filter a narrow linewidth of radiation from a broadband source, and most importantly, they offer the best imaging characteristics of any x-ray optic.

We offer both lenses made in house and those from other leading manufacturers. To ensure the best possible solution for you, our engineers work with each client individually and make appropriate adjustments to the products.
