Beryllium is used frequently in applications where one wants to avoid large amounts of secondary x-ray flourescence: thus it is frequently used as an x-ray window material for x-ray detectors and a material for making low background specimen stages for analytical electron microscopes. One advantage for x-ray windows on SEMs is that Be is strong enough to withstand an atmosphere of pressure even when the window is thin enough to allow a large amount of x-ray transmission.
