Closed tube or open tube?
Closed tubes: All tube components are con-
tained in a sealed vacuum vessel container.
Closed tubes are maintenance-free and are
completely replaced at the end of their lifetime.
Open tubes: All components and wear-out parts
are accessible and replaceable, the tube is con-
tinuously evacuated by a turbomolecular pump.
Open tubes yield higher resolution and magnifi-
cation and are not limited in lifetime.

tasks in printed circuit board assembly:
This automated X-ray system with superior
specifications satisfies even the highest
demands: The 180 kV / 15 W high-power
nanofocus tube (4-in-1) covers the full range
from submicron resolution to high intensity
applications. Due to the easy view configu-
ration the X-ray image displays the sample
exactly as the operator sees it through the
radiation protection window. The digital
realtime image chain with 4 MPixel camera
provides an excellent contrast resolution
and enables oblique views up to 70 degrees
and magnifications well above 24,000 x. For
samples of poor contrast the system may be
equipped with a high dynamic fully digital
DXR detector array – as supplement to the
image chain, offering unique performance
and versatility as well as live imaging with up
to 30 fps. Optionally, the nanome|x may be
equipped with nanoCT
®
capability.
phoenix nanome|x
the ultimate nanofocus X-ray solution
phoenix x|aminer
strong entry-level inspection system
With it’s 160 kV / 20 W microfocus X-ray tube,
GE’s phoenix x|aminer meets the require-
ments for high-resolution X-ray inspection
of electronic assemblies, components and
PCBA. The phoenix x|act base software pack-
age offers ease of use allowing manual as
well as automated solder joint inspection.
Both versions of the nanotom come stan-
dard with a 180 kV / 15 W ultra high-perfor-
mance nanofocus X-ray tube and precision
mechanics for extremely high stability.
With voxel resolution as low as < 500 (s) or
even <300 (m) nanometer and below, the nanotom is the inspection solution of choice for 3D
nanoCT
®
applications in a wide range of fields. Equipped with its unique high dynamic tem-
perature stabilized 3,072 x 2,400 pixels GE DXR detector, the nanotom m scans samples up
to 240 mm in diameter. With its small footprint, the nanotom is suitable for even the smallest
labs. For many research applications, the nanotom offers even a viable alternative to syn-
chrotron-based computed tomography.
What does “easy and intuitive use“ mean?
• Due to the “Easy View Configuration“ the X-ray image shows the
object exactly as the operator sees it through the radiation
protection window
• Precise and easy operation by using the mouse, joystick or key
board
• phoenix|x-ray systems can be operated in either sitting or standing
position
• Programming is possible in different layers of complexity, each of
them supported by an intuitive graphically oriented or CAD based
user interface

phoenix microme|x
automated solder joint inspection
The phoenix microme|x is a high-resolution
automated X-ray inspection (AXI) system
that is suitable for failure analysis in the
semiconductor and electronics industry.
The microme|x combines proven high-
resolution 2D and 3D X-ray technology in
one system. This system comes standard
with an ultra high-performance 180 kV / 20 W
X-ray tube for sub-micron feature recognition
> 0.5 µm and a high-resolution 2 MPixel digital
image chain. The microme|x provides a total
optical magnification of up to 23,320 x and
oblique angle views of up to 70 degrees.
Optionally, it may be equipped with GE’s
DXR digital detector array for brilliant live
imaging and the capability for high-resolu-
tion CT for advanced 3D failure analysis.
