Introducing… Sophie Lennon-George! Sophie started with Micro-X one year ago in January 2022 on a summer internship and liked the work so much, she stayed!
Micro-X is the first company in the world to introduce to the general radiology market, NEX Technology, using a carbon nanotube, a cold electron source material instead of a traditional heated filament.
This electronic x-ray tube is smaller, lighter, and faster than anything the world has seen before.
This has led to the development of the Rover DR Mobile System, with unique characteristics resulting from engineering prowess and clinical engagement incorporating NEX Technology. Rover is spearheading change in mobile imaging around the world.
NEX Technology makes our products:
Versatile and Lightweight
The Rover Mobile DR is an ultra-lightweight X-ray unit providing high quality imaging at Point of Care for patients at home, in hospital or on the sports field!
Several unique components contribute to its lightness:
Nano Electronic X-ray or NEX Technology™ uses carbon nanotubes to generate X-rays without heat yet with high precision.
Therefore, the bulk of oil, lead and motors needed for cooling traditional thermionic X-rays machines are not needed.
NEX Technology delivers an X-ray tube of 2.35 kgs, our head is <6 kgs and the counterpoise arm <16.5ks. The total weight of the Rover Mobile DR is about 100kgs.
No motors and fewer batteries are needed further reducing weight.

Micro-X welcomes Non-Executive Director Andrew Hartmann to the Board. Andrew joined the Micro-X Board in December, pursuant to Varex’s nomination under its equity subscription agreement.
Micro-X’s proprietary carbon nanotube technology has been listed in the top 9 trends and takeaways from RSNA 2022. Industry publication Radiology Business says: Cold cathode
Micro-X has welcomed the announcement of an Australian-first combined PhD-MBA that will be offered by Flinders University from next year through a compressed doctoral program
