TECHNOLOGY AT THE CREST OF LIGHTWAVES: VAREX INDUSTRIAL LINEAR ACCELERATORS
Varex’s industrial linear accelerators are our most powerful and complex X-ray sources. These incorporate advanced technologies like precision electron-focusing optics and transmission windows. At their core, resonating cavities harness megawatt microwave pulses, creating standing waves that accelerate electrons to near light speed.
The resulting finely tuned systems push the boundaries of maximum energy and dose rate in commercially available X-ray technology.
