3 A Kβ filter may be inserted.
Check whether a Kβ filter is inserted from SmartLab Guidance.
Kβ filter (Ni foil)
The Kβ filter reduces the Kβ characteristic x-rays by approximately 90% while only
reducing the Ka characteristic x-rays by approximately 50%. Therefore almost all Kβ x-rays
can be removed. (Used for measurements based on the para-focusing method.)
