Function and Applications

Upgrade set as an extension of the XR 4.0 X-ray expert set (09110-88). It is used for the characterisation of the radiation spectra of various different anode materials. It is particularly suitable for studying the fundamental principles of X-ray physics.

The set covers the following experiments and topics:

• Fluoroscopy and X-ray imaging
• Debye-Scherrer analyses
• Fundamental principles of X-ray spectroscopy
• Bragg reflection
• Bremsspectrum
• K and L edges
• Characteristic lines of different anode materials
• Moseley's law
• Determination of the Rydberg constant
• Duane-Hunt's law
• Determination of Planck's quantum of action
• X-ray diffractometry

Benefits

• Plug & measure
• Quick change of the X-ray tubes in the set
• Automatic identification of the anode material of the X-ray tube - adjustment free
• stable bench system

Equipment and Technical Data

The set includes the following components:

• Geiger-Müller counter tube, type B
• optical bench expert with accessories
• XR 4.0 X-ray LiF crystal in a holder

• XR 4.0 X-ray KBr crystal in a holder

• XR 4.0 X-ray diaphragm tube with Zr foil

• XR 4.0 X-ray diaphragm tube with Ni foil
• and additional accessories

Additionally required are three X-ray tubes (09057-51, 09057-61, 09057-71) and a goniometer (09057-10).
