CASE STUDY UV10TKLO-2: Used to Adhere Mirrors in a Kirkpatrick-Baez Microscope to Image X-ray Emissions During Deuterium-Tritium Implosions Overview Master Bond UV10TKLO-2 is a one-component UV-curable system for high-performance bonding, sealing, and encapsulation applications. It meets NASA’s specifications (ASTM E-595) for low outgassing and can be readily cured using UV light at room temperature. Due to its low outgassing, UV10TKLO-2 is suitable for use in applications that involve the use of a vacuum, including optical equipment such as Kirkpatrick–Baez (KB)–type X-ray microscopes to measure...

Results The researchers successfully designed a KB microscope and coupled it to a high-speed camera to obtain images of X-rays emitted from laser-generated plasmas of DT targets. To achieve this, they properly aligned the mirrors of the camera to capture all X-ray emissions from the DT fuel during its implosion. The researchers used UV10TKLO-2 to hold the KB mirrors in place to obtain the optimal mirror alignment and focus. Master Bond UV10TKLO-2 has successfully held the mirrors in place for more than two years since they were first installed, with no observable changes in image position. The...
