Proto® is a proud integrator of Excillum MetalJet sources
With higher power density than conventional x-ray sources, Excillum's MetalJet sources are the world’s brightest microfocus x-ray tubes. Boasting incredible speed and impressive performance, liquid-metaljet anodes provide superior spot quality for your x-ray applications.
SC-1 HP: High-Pressure X-ray Diffraction


We offer MetalJet x-ray systems tailored for high-pressure crystallography applications. Our systems enable experiments with diamond anvil cells (DACs) up to 200 GPa.
With a 15-micron beam, the SC-1 HP combines the smallest beam size in a laboratory high-pressure system with an indium x-ray source for the best possible flux.

X-PIX: Phase-Contrast Imaging
Our phase-contrast imaging systems enable high-contrast 3D x-ray imaging.
With advanced detection technology and intuitive controls, the X-Pix is the ultimate solution for detailed images of low-absorbing materials.


XDM-1: High-Energy Diffraction Microscopy (HEDM)

Investigate grains within polycrystals, getting information about grain position, orientation, and strain.
The XDM-1 enables far-field HEDM experiments, which were previously only possible at a beamline.
In-situ tensile and compression loading rigs are also available.
