    Abstract: This disclosure presents systems for x-ray illumination that have an x-ray brightness several orders of magnitude greater than existing x-ray technologies. These may therefore useful for applications such as trace element detection or for micro-focus fluorescence analysis. The higher brightness is achieved in part by using designs for x-ray targets that comprise a number of microstructures of one or more selected x-ray generating materials fabricated in close thermal contact with a substrate having high thermal conductivity. This allows for bombardment of the targets with higher electron density or higher energy electrons, which leads to greater x-ray flux. The high brightness/high flux x-ray source may then be coupled to an x-ray optical system, which can collect and focus the high flux x-rays to spots that can be as small as one micron, leading to high flux density.

    Abstract: An x-ray tube includes a target on which electrons impinge to form a diverging x-ray beam. The target has a surface formed from first and second target materials, each tailored to emit a respective x-ray energy profile. A first x-ray optic may be provided for directing the beam toward the sample spot, the first x-ray optic monochromating the diverging x-ray beam to a first energy from the energy emitted by the first target material; and a second x-ray optic may be provided, for directing the beam toward the sample spot, the second x-ray optic monochromating the diverging x-ray beam to a second energy from the energy emitted by the second target material. Fluorescence from the sample spot induced by the first and second monochromated energies is used to measure the concentration of at least one element in the sample, or separately measure elements in a coating and underlying substrate.

    Abstract: A metal including a passivation film 33a with a thickness of 10 nm or more is used as a metal electrode (a focus cup electrode 33) for generating an electric filed in a vacuum. The focus cup electrode 33 is made of stainless steel. The stainless steel is immersed in a treatment solution to perform coating (passivation treatment) . Accordingly, the passivation film 33a can be formed to be thicker than 10 nm. In this manner, the passivation film 33a is thicker than 10 nm. Therefore, the surface is uniform, and the adhesion is excellent, and the number of pinholes is small. Accordingly, the withstand voltage performance can be improved.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray mammography system including an X-ray detecting unit and an X-ray generating unit, The X-ray detecting unit includes a detecting portion that detects X-rays that have passed through a breast. The X-ray generating unit includes a transmission type target and an electron emitting source and is configured to radiate X-rays toward the detecting portion when irradiated with electrons. The transmission type target has a target layer having an electron incidence surface. The transmission type target radiates X-rays in a direction opposite to the electron incidence surface. The distance between a normal to the target layer and a distal end, which is an end of an X-ray irradiated region of the detecting portion closer to the chest of the testee, is larger than the distance between the normal and a proximal end, which is an end of the X-ray irradiated region far away from the chest.
