2026 Q3 Update from Source-Ray, Inc.

Q3 marked another exciting quarter for Source-Ray, with new developments and exciting milestones.


Source-Ray continued its focus on innovation and industry engagement throughout Q3 2026, introducing the new SB-50-500-BW-0.020 Microfocus X-ray Generator and expanding our portfolio of advanced X-ray solutions. 

Throughout the quarter, we connected with professionals in the forensics industry and molecular imaging communities at key industry events. At IACME and FAME, we showcased our portable and mobile X-ray systems, highlighting solutions designed to support the needs of forensic professionals. At WMIC, we presented our family of new Microfocus X-ray Generators for advanced imaging and inspection applications. 

Q3 also marked an exciting digital milestone as our company's official LinkedIn page surpassed 10,000 followers, reflecting the continued growing interest and engagement from professionals all over the world following Source-Ray and our work in X-ray technology.

Product Highlight 

The New SB-50-500-BW-0.020 Microfocus X-ray Generator 

Meet the SB-50-500-BW-0.020 Microfocus X-ray Generator, the latest addition to the Source-Ray SB-50 family of X-ray generators. Engineered for exceptional imaging performance, it features a 20 µm focal spot, 50 kV output, 500 µA emission current, and a beryllium-window X-ray tube, delivering high-resolution imaging in a compact, OEM-ready design. 

The low-attenuation beryllium window allows more low-energy, or “soft,” X-rays to reach the sample, making the generator particularly well suited for imaging thin or low-density materials. By allowing these lower-energy X-rays to pass through with less attenuation, the system can help reveal differences in material density and composition, supporting improved image contrast and the visualization of fine details. 

Combining microfocus performance with a compact design, the SB-50-500-BW-0.020 is suited for a wide range of advanced imaging, inspection, and analytical applications across multiple industries. 

Common Applications: 

  • Electronics & PCB Inspection | Electronics Manufacturing, Consumer Electronics, Electronic Components 

  • Semiconductor Packaging Inspection | Semiconductor Manufacturing, Advanced Packaging, Microelectronics 

  • Battery Cell Inspection | Battery Manufacturing, Electric Vehicles, Energy Storage 

  • Compact Micro-CT | Scientific Imaging, Research & Development, Industrial Inspection 

  • XRF & Materials Analysis | Materials Science, Mining & Geology, Research Laboratories 

  • Medical Device Inspection | Medical Device Manufacturing, Healthcare Technology 

  • Precision Component Quality Control | Precision Manufacturing, Aerospace, Automotive, Industrial Components 

  • Seed & Agricultural Inspection | Agriculture, Seed Research, Food & Agricultural Technology 

With continuous operation, compact dimensions, and a 24 VDC input, the SB-50-500-BW-0.020 combines precision, reliability, and integration flexibility for OEMs and system integrators developing advanced X-ray inspection, imaging, and analytical equipment. 

Trade Shows & Industry Events 

Q3 was a busy quarter for Source-Ray’s industry engagement, with participation in three events serving distinct professional communities. From portable and mobile X-ray systems for forensic imaging applications to showcasing our family of microfocus X-ray generators for advanced molecular imaging, each event provided an opportunity to highlight solutions relevant to its audience. 

IACME

At the event, we showcased our portable and mobile X-ray systems, highlighting solutions designed to provide flexible imaging capabilities for medical examiners & forensic applications. The conference also provided an opportunity to learn more about the imaging needs of professionals working in the field and engage with industry peers.  

FAME 

At the Florida Association of Medical Examiners (FAME) 2026 Annual Educational Conference, held August 12th – 14th at the Hard Rock Hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida, Source-Ray presented its portable & mobile X-ray systems to forensic professionals from the state of Florida. The event offered a valuable setting to discuss practical imaging solutions & highlight the flexibility of portable & mobile X-ray technology for forensic imaging applications. 

WMIC 2026 

Source-Ray exhibited at the World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) Annual Global Meeting, held September 8th to 11th, 2026, at the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. At WMIC, we showcased our SB-50-500-BW-0.20 and SB-80-250-0.015 Microfocus X-ray Generators, highlighting their small focal spot capabilities and potential for high-resolution laboratory imaging applications. The event provided an opportunity to introduce our Microfocus X-ray technology to professionals working in molecular imaging from around the world. 

Participating in these events allowed Source-Ray to showcase different areas of our X-ray technology portfolio to specialized audiences while continuing to learn from the industries and applications we serve.
