An artifact always appears in the same location on the X-ray image. How can I resolve this?

If a shadow or artifact remains stationary on the image while the sample stage is moving, the issue is likely caused by contamination on the imaging components.

Please visually inspect the following areas for dust or foreign matter:

• The X-ray tube output window
• The detector surface or protective cover

If the issue persists, please contact us for further assistance.
