X-Ray Apparatus (115 V, 50/60 Hz)

The experiment chamber is contained in a closed, radiation-proof housing with a transparent synthetic-glass shield. If the synthetic-glass shield is opened, the high-voltage source for the X-ray tube is deactivated automatically. The high-vacuum X-ray tube with a directly heated tungsten cathode and copper anode is positioned in a borosilicate glass chamber with a thinwalled, concave ray emission window. A lead-glass hood with a collimator causes X-rays to emerge in parallel with the experiment plane and provides a shield against scattered radiation. The horizontal counter-tube goniometer consists of a central sample holder and a swiveling arm. In the form of a slide tray, this arm serves as a mount for the Geiger-Muller tube (U19201), ionization chamber (U19208) as well as experimental devices in slide format or on a 5 cm x 5 cm base plate (for example, from U19205, U19206, U19207). The swiveling arm can be rotated manually independently of the sample holder, or at a fixed mutual angle with a ratio of 2:1, for instance, for experiments involving Bragg's reflection. The device is equipped with angle and millimeter scales, position markings for experimental devices, as well as radiation-proof bushings for cables and hoses.
