Brigher Microfocus X-ray Tubes

Luxbright offers X-ray emission solutions to international system suppliers. Our patented technology allows for world-leading image resolution and improved X-ray equipment to save, protect, and simplify people’s lives. Luxbright makes microfocus affordable and enables new applications based on cold cathode technology. Development, production, and testing are all carried out under the same roof in state-of-the-art facilities located in Gothenburg, Sweden.

History

Luxbright was founded in 2012 by Qiuhong Hu as part of his research at Chalmers University of Technology. Qiuhong and his team used a new chemical substance to produce nanofabricated substrates acting as the electron emitting material in a so-called cold cathode X-ray tube. Later, the properties of the cold cathode was found to match microfocus applications very well. Extensive research and development efforts lead to a new X-ray tube with a traditional tungsten filament but a proprietary anode design. In the mean time, research on the cold cathode continued. After several years of intensive R&D activities, it was decided to list Luxbright at Nasdaq First North and the company went public in the end of 2020.

Made in Sweden

In the end of 2021, following the corona virus pandemic, it was decided to move production from China to Sweden. New facilities were found in western Gothenburg and preparations to build a first-class production site begun. In June 2022, the staff moved in to the new premises and on August 25, the ISO 7 clean room was unveiled. New resources have been hired since and Luxbright makes great progress in developing and producing premium quality tubes to customers all around the globe. The journey continues!
