Abstract
Embodiments for detectors windows up to 100 mm are disclosed.
Claims20
A detector window for apertures up to 100 mm comprised of a thin film layer operably attached to at least two stacked grid supports.
A detector window for apertures up to 100 mm comprising of a thin film operably attached to at least two hexagonal grid supports;
- where the thin film is LEX® Light Element X-ray thin film;
- where the grids are made of stainless steel.
A detector window for apertures up to 100 mm comprised of a thin film operably attached to at least two grid supports;
- where each grid support has a pitch different than the pitch of the other grid support;
- where the grid supports are stacked;
- where the stacked grid supports have a fixed focal point.
A detector window for apertures up to 100 mm comprised of a thin film operably attached to at least one grid support has a plurality of approximately finger shaped bars;
- where each approximately finger shaped bar defines a slot;
- where each of the plurality of finger shaped bars have approximately the same bar width;
- where each finger shaped bar is dispersed radially on the grid support.
A method to make a detector window comprises operably attaching a thin film to at least two stacked grid supports.
A method to make a detector window comprises operably attaching a thin film to a grid support;
- where the at least one grid support has a plurality of approximately finger shaped bars;
- where each approximately finger shaped bar defines a slot;
- where each of the plurality of finger shaped bars have approximately the same bar width;
- where each finger shaped bar is dispersed radially on the support grid.
