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

High-pressure x-ray diffraction data
Single-crystal high-pressure system

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.
