X-ray device "XR 4.0 X-ray expert unit," 35 kV

The X-ray device serves as both a demonstration device and a laboratory device. It has been specifically designed for use in educational training centers, whether in schools or universities. In addition to its use for teaching physics, it can also be utilized for training in the medical field or other similar technical specialties. Compact and microprocessor-controlled, this device is particularly distinguished by its rapid X-ray tube exchange technology, allowing for experiments with different X-ray tubes and therefore, different anodes. Here are the different X-ray tubes available; all mounted "ready for service" in special drawers: - Drawer module with X-ray tube, copper anticathode ref 608089 - Drawer module with X-ray tube, molybdenum anticathode ref 608090 - Drawer module with X-ray tube, iron anticathode ref 608091 - Drawer module with X-ray tube, tungsten anticathode ref 608092 The use of other types of drawers is prohibited. In addition to simple radiography and dosimetry experiments, the use of the integrated Geiger counter and optional goniometer allows for spectroscopy experiments in nuclear physics and solid-state physics. The adjustment of service and control parameters is done directly on the device or on a PC via USB. An integrated color TFT screen on the front control panel allows for direct control of the device (and displays service and control parameters as well as measurements). The buttons surrounding the screen on the control panel allow for the operation and control of all basic functions of the device. Possible experiments with this device: The device and its respective complementary accessories allow for the following experiments: - Radiography of objects and observation using a luminescent screen - Taking radiographic images of irradiated objects - Demonstrating the ionization effect of X-rays (dosimetry) - Demonstrating Bragg reflection - Characterizing the X-ray spectrum - Determining the characteristic X-rays of different anodes (Cu, Mo, Fe, W) and thereby verifying Moseley's law - Detecting the characteristic Kα1 and Kα2 lines in higher-order diffractions - Monochromatizing X-rays using single crystals or metal sheets - Analyzing crystal structures by X-ray diffractometry using Laue and Debye-Scherrer methods - Determining Planck's constant from the critical wavelength of continuous braking radiation (Duane-Hunt law) - Determining Rydberg's constant - Studying the absorption coefficient of X-rays as a function of material (atomic number Z), thickness, and photon energy - Demonstrating absorption edges - Demonstrating the mode of action of contrast agents in the medical field - Compton effect
