FOX two-dimensional X-ray focusing optic

FOX is an innovative two-dimensional X-ray focusing optic. It is currently used for the most demanding protein crystallography applications i.e. structure determination, high-throughput screening, where high flux and high resolution are required. Thanks to our single reflection design and proprietary multilayer deposition process, FOX is delivering two times more flux within a 350 × 350 µm spot size than any other 2D confocal focusing optics used in a 12-38 geometry. Unlike other two reflection based optics, FOX is extremely easy to align and maintains your diffractometer performances over time. The main benefits are materialized in reduced collection time, higher signal-to-noise ratio obtained for the weakest diffracting spots at high resolution, and finally easy installation. Combined with standard rotating anode generators, FOX has enabled the production of results comparable to those obtained in synchrotron when using the SAD technique. Thanks to its vacuum housing and universal adaptor, FOX is also compatible with any other conventional X-ray sealed tubes: Cu and Mo tubes can receive a valuable upgrade and boost your existing X-ray system performances.
