Abstract: A linear source of x-rays is disclosed wherein an elongated filament, mounted within a cylindrically formed anode, provides electrons around the filament, and along the length of said filament. The anode that comprises a high Z material such as gold, receives the electrons and emits X-rays in a 360 degree arc and along a substantial length of the anode. In one embodiment the tube is used for irradiation purposes.

Abstract: An X-ray irradiation apparatus includes an enclosure and an X-ray beam system positioned within the enclosure for directing X-ray beams into an irradiation region. The X-ray beam system has more than one X-ray beam emitter for directing the X-ray beams into the irradiation region from different directions. Each X-ray beam emitter includes a vacuum chamber having a target window and an electron generator positioned within the vacuum chamber for generating electrons that are directed at the target window for forming X-rays which pass through the target window as an X-ray beam. The target window is supported by a support plate having a series of holes therethrough which allow passage of the electrons therethrough to reach the target window.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray source comprising an electron source (1) for the emission of electrons (E), a target (4) for the emission of characteristic, substantially monochromatic X-rays (C) in response to the incidence of the electrons (E) and an outcoupling means (11) for outcoupling of the X-rays. To achieve characteristic, substantially monochromatic X-rays with a high power loadability electrons are incident on a metal foil (5) of a thickness of less than 10 μm and a base arrangement (7, 12) is arranged wherein the metal of said metal foil (5) has a high atomic number allowing the generation of X-rays (C) and the material substantially included in the base arrangement (7, 12) has a low atomic number not allowing the generation of X-rays (C). The outcoupling means are adapted for outcoupling only X-rays (C) on the side of the metal foil (5) on which the electrons (E) are incident and which is opposite to the side of the base arrangement (7, 12) since on this side almost no bremsstrahlung radiation is generated.

Abstract: A microfocus X-ray tube is provided, and comprises a head that during operation of the X-ray tube faces an object that is to be inspected. The head has an outer surface with a cross-section that tapers toward a free end of the head. A target is disposed on or in the head. A mechanism is provided for forming an electron beam adapted to bombard the target, and forms the electron beam such that the X-ray tube has a focus with a diameter of ≦200 μm. The target has an outer surface with a cross-section that tapers toward an end of the target that during the operation of the X-ray tube faces an object that is to be inspected. A collimator can be provided for the target and also has an outer surface with a cross-section that tapers toward an end of the collimator that during operation of the X-ray tube faces an object that is to be inspected.
