Publication number: 20250283842Abstract: In some embodiments, an alignment apparatus for an X-ray source may include an X-ray tube configured to emit X-rays. The alignment apparatus for an X-ray source may include an optical alignment assembly situated between the X-ray tube and sample. The optical alignment assembly may include a flight tube and at least one adjustment mechanism. The optical alignment assembly may be adjustable to ensure the emitted X-rays produce an illumination on the sample with maximized X-ray intensity and desired spot shape. In some embodiments, a method may include emitting X-rays from an X-ray tube along a central axis. The method may include adjusting an optical alignment assembly in a first linear direction perpendicular to the central axis and a first rotational direction around the central axis to align the optical alignment assembly with the X-ray tube. The method may include illuminating a sample with maximized X-ray intensity and desired spot shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2025Publication date: September 11, 2025Applicant: IXRF, Inc.Inventors: Robert Clayton Tisdale, Andrew Ma
