Neutron Double Converging

Throughout the years, many types of Neutron Double Converging Collimators have been produced by JJ X-Ray. The double converging collimator is an advanced radial collimator where foils are angled both in the vertical and horizontal plane and often with very small angular foil separation.

As with our Radial Collimators, they include intermediate collimation systems over larger angular ranges and finer collimation systems over smaller angular ranges. Se also examples in our collimator catalog.

Especially with our larger designs, limiting the total system weight has been at the center of our attention.
