Window membrane for detector and analyser devices, and a method for manufacturing a window membrane

摘要

A window membrane is permeable to electromagnetic radiation, especially soft X-rays. It comprises a film ( 201 ) and a metallic reinforcement mesh ( 202 ) attached to the film ( 201 ). A preferable way of attaching the metallic reinforcement mesh ( 202 ) to the film is to use a positive-working photosensitive glue ( 204 ) and allow the reinforcement mesh ( 202 ) to act as the exposure mask.
