Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for generating x-ray beams are described. In one embodiment, the method includes operating a cathode to generate an electron beam, directing the electron beam from the cathode through an aperture in an accelerating electrode, and impinging the electron beam on an anode surface to form a focal spot on the anode surface.
