XRS6 6mm Uni-stable X-ray Shutters

OVERVIEW
One of the newest shutters in Vincent's UNIBLITZ® line, the XRS6 series is especially designed for x-ray applications.
The innovative blade design allows beam extinction >104 up to 30Kev x-ray energy. The XRS6 shutter is well suited for
specific x-ray applications such as x-ray crystallography and can gate within 3ms. at a maximum rate of 50 exposures
per second. Precision control and reliability can be expected as with all UNIBLITZ® products.
This shutter is programmable, and is activated by an electronic pulse generated by Vincent's patented UNIBLITZ®
drive systems. The shutter will follow this pulse, which allows the user to program the exposure duration and frequency.
The XRS6 has a 6mm clear aperture and is equipped with the solid state synchronization system. Additional aperture
sizes and vacuum compatibility may be available, please consult customer service for further information.

FEATURES
• 6mm diameter aperture.
• Pt-Ir shutter blade, capable of blocking x-ray energy 30Kev.
• Exposure repetition rate continuously variable from 50Hz.
• Electronic synchronization system included.
• Activated by an electronic pulse through UNIBLITZ® patented shutter drive systems.
• Non-resonant design allows instantaneous changes repetition rate and duty cycle.
• No optical surface when open provides 100% transmittance.
• Normally open option available on special order.
