One Santa Cruz, CA manufacturer is in the business of making X-ray tubes. However, they aren’t just any X-ray tube manufacturers. These X-ray tube manufacturers make micro x-ray tubes, which have refined and redefined the medical diagnostic process. Here’s how this company’s micro x-ray tubes have changed the diagnostic process and helped find disease larger x-ray tubes and machines cannot.
Smaller Samples and Greater Focus
Imagine looking at a bacterial infection under an atomic microscope. You would be able to see so much more than just peering at the sample under a standard microscope. The same holds true for micro x-ray machines. These machines take a smaller sample area of the patient and maximize the focus and intensity of the x-ray power to find signs of disease or illness where other x-ray machines cannot.
Never Disturbing the Sample
Another popular use of micro x-ray machines is scanning very small things in order to magnify them without touching or disturbing them. One such application focuses on fingerprinting for body identification and/or crime scene investigation. Similarly, this particular application can be used for identifying trace evidence or locating nearly invisible samples that you don’t want to make a mess of. Think of scanning cancer cells that you don’t want to move or scatter from their current location; micro x-ray machines can do that.
