    Abstract: The present application is directed to an anode for an X-ray tube. The X-ray tube has an electron aperture through which electrons emitted from an electron source travel subject to substantially no electrical field and a target in a non-parallel relationship to the electron aperture and arranged to produce X-rays when electrons are incident upon a first side of the target, wherein the target further comprises a cooling channel located on a second side of the target. The cooling channel comprises a conduit having coolant contained therein. The coolant is at least one of water, oil, or refrigerant.

    Abstract: The embodiments relate to a liquid metal journal bearing including at least one first bearing part and at least one second bearing part. The bearing parts are non-positively connected to one another. Additionally, at least one sealing ring made of a ductile material is arranged between the first bearing part and the second bearing part. With a liquid metal journal bearing of this type, the escape of liquid metal is prevented, even under heavy loading. The liquid metal journal bearing is therefore suitable, for example, for installation in an X-ray generator.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray tube, especially a microfocus X-ray tube (2), comprising means (18) for orienting an electron beam (10) towards a target (4). A control device (20) is used to control the means for orienting the electron beam (10) towards the target (4) in such a way that the electron beam (10) scans the target (4), in addition to a measuring device (22) for measuring the intensity of the target current which flows to different scanning sites when the target (4) is scanned by the electron beam (10), or a measuring variable dependent on the target current, and an evaluation device (24) for associating each measured value of the target flow with the corresponding scanning site. Said X-ray tube enables the easy and economical implementation of a method for checking the operability of the target (4).

    Abstract: A method and apparatus, such as a spectrometer, are provided for facilitating the detection of an gamma signal in a manner that effectively discriminates the gamma signal from noise. A spectrometer may be provided which includes an gamma converter for converting gamma signals which impinge thereupon into corresponding pairs of electrons and positrons. The spectrometer also includes a deflector for separately deflecting the electrons and the positrons as well as electron and positron detectors for separately detecting the deflected electrons and positrons, respectively. As such, an gamma signal can be identified in instances in which the deflected electrons and positrons are detected in coincidence.
