How do side window and end window X-ray tubes differ in their roles and applications within the context of XRF for elemental analysis?

In the context of XRF for elemental analysis, side window and end window X-ray Fluorescence tubes from Micro X-Ray Inc. serve distinct roles and applications. Side window tubes are typically employed for non-destructive elemental analysis of bulk materials, especially in situations where the sample's surface needs to remain intact.

These tubes emit X-rays through a thin side window, allowing for efficient penetration and analysis of solid samples. In contrast, end window tubes are utilized when analyzing liquids, powders, or thin films.

They emit X-rays from the front face, which are less obstructed, making them suitable for delicate or loose samples. Therefore, the choice between these tubes depends on the sample type and analytical requirements in XRF applications.
