X-ray microprobe - A new facility for cell irradiations in Kraków

A new, multi-purpose X-ray microprobe has been constructed in Kraków. The Hamamatsu L9191 microfocusing X-ray tube is used as a source of radiation. The microprobe is equipped with three dedicated experimental lines serving for the computed microtomography (CMT), for micro-XRF or TXRF measurements (micro-X-ray induced Fluorescence, Total reflexion XRF) and for mammalian cell irradiations. Details of the construction of the experimental line dedicated to irradiations are presented.
