X-Ray Optical Systems, Inc.

XOS® has been a leading global provider of advanced X-ray optics for material analysis systems since the optics’ commercial introduction in the mid-1990s. The systems are important for essentially all industries that use materials — from cement to semiconductor to pharmaceutical to petroleum — measuring aspects such as semiconductor film thickness, stress in turbine blades, groundwater contamination, and contaminant levels.

Advanced X-ray optics can often increase the sensitivity of the measurements by more than a factor of 100, while decreasing the measurement time, increasing spatial resolution, and decreasing the size and cost of the equipment.
