In 2019, Micro-X built the first NEX X-ray tube, based on Micro-X patented carbon nanotube emitter technology. While many others have sought to use carbon nanotube emitters in X-ray tubes, Micro-X is the first to achieve a stable, high-current, long life, repeatable X-ray tube using this technology.
Our NEX X-ray technology is proven, having been tested in both the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine, and is currently being used in over 35 different countries.
Our Nano Electronic X-ray (NEX) Technology paves the way for new opportunities across multiple sectors to bring precise, lightweight and tailored solutions. We are moving X-ray technology from century-old, heated fragile filaments encased in oil, to a future of smart, fast and reliable imaging.
Our technology enables the production of smaller, lighter and simpler X-ray devices, offering unparalleled portability and ease of use.
The Electronic X-ray Tube allows for faster, more precise imaging, revolutionizing both medical and security markets.
Micro-X's proprietary technology guarantees a long, stable life with no degradation in X-ray current performance.

Our fabrication processes are simple, scalable, and repeatable, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
NEX Technology forms the core of the Micro-X technology platform, enabling high-voltage X-ray using a cold cathode. Micro-X uses its patented carbon nanotube emitter technology in tailored X-ray tube designs to meet specifications for individual products. Our NEX Technology is proven – as the first to commercialise NEX Technology in healthcare.
Micro-X has created proprietary high-voltage generators that use solid state high voltage encapsulation to insulate components. In combining our generators with our X-ray tubes, high voltage connectors, and high voltage switching technology, Micro-X delivers a fully customisable imaging chain that can be scaled from a monoblock to a world-first multi-source solution.
Micro-X is developing world-first deep learning models for multi-source CT imaging in partnership with Johns Hopkins University. Adaptive Deep Scatter Estimation facilitates the use of multi-source CT with a world-first curved-panel x-ray detector, while Diffusion Posterior Sampling allows high quality image reconstruction from significantly fewer views using data-guided generative AI.
Micro-X is also developing image classification and object recognition models using convolutional neural networks to assist with automated threat detection in our Mobile Baggage Scanner.
