Latest Patents
One of Harvey T Stone's latest patents is an innovative X-ray fluorescence system and method. This invention provides a system that includes an X-ray source, an X-ray focusing element, and a tapered X-ray opaque focusing aperture. These components work together to create a focused X-ray spot on a sample. The system is designed to translate a sample between an imaging position and a testing position. In the imaging position, the sample is aligned in three dimensions, and after alignment, the system automatically translates the sample. To prevent collisions between the sample and other elements of the system, a position detecting device is employed to terminate the sample translation if it is triggered. The tapered focusing aperture blocks unfocused X-rays, effectively reducing or eliminating the halo effect. Additionally, to detect low atomic number elements, a detector aperture is vacuum sealed to an X-ray detector, and the X-ray elements of the system are vacuum evacuated.
