XRE 4.0 X-ray expert set for schools

Function and Applications

The complete set is designed for the safe execution of eight curriculum-compliant experiments in X-ray physics and X-ray imaging at school level. Using the microprocessor-controlled educational X-ray system, fundamental physical effects such as bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation, diffraction, absorption, and radiographic investigations can be demonstrated and evaluated in a hands-on manner. Operation can be carried out directly on the device or via PC.

Extensions through upgrade sets for additional specific applications and subject areas are available on request.
