    摘要: The present disclosure provides a reliable X-ray generating tube that forms a focus with a stable size and shape. The X-ray generating tube includes an electron gun including an electron emitting portion, a plurality of grid electrodes, and an insulating support member that supports the plurality of grid electrodes. The electron gun includes a conductive section that hides the insulating support member to prevent the insulating support member from being directly viewed from an electron through path of electrons emitted from the electron emitting portion and passing through the grid electrodes.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for adjusting a focal point position of an X-ray tube. The method may include: obtaining a first thermal capacity and a first position of a focal point of an X-ray tube; obtaining a second thermal capacity of the X-ray tube; determining a second position of the focal point the X-ray tube based on the second thermal capacity; determining a target grid voltage difference of a focusing cup of the X-ray tube based on the first position and the second position of the focal point; and adjusting the X-ray tube based on the target grid voltage difference.

    摘要: An X-ray assembly may include a vacuum wall, an anode, and a cathode. The vacuum wall may define a vacuum enclosure and may include an X-ray window. The anode may be located within the vacuum enclosure. The anode may include a target area. The cathode may be located within the vacuum enclosure. The cathode may generate an electron stream to travel to a focus area located at the target area of the anode. The cathode may be positioned such that the electron stream travels along an oblique path relative a virtual line positioned so as to intersect a center of the focus area and a center of the X-ray window.

    摘要: The invention relates to an electron gun for generating a flat electron beam, comprising a cathode with an emission surface which is curved about a central axis and which is designed to emit electrons. The electron gun further comprises an accelerating device for accelerating the electrons in a radial direction towards a target region on the central axis. Furthermore, the emission surface has a width in the azimuth direction and a height oriented perpendicularly to the width, said width being at least ten times greater than the height.

    摘要: An x-ray apparatus (1), has an electron beam source (2), a target (4), onto which the electron beam (3) is directed to form a focal spot (5; 5a, 5b) on the target (4), x-ray optics (6) for collecting x-rays emitted from the focal spot (5; 5a, 5b) to form an x-ray beam (8) and a sample position (9) at which the x-ray beam (8) is directed. The x-ray apparatus (1) further includes an electrostatic or electromagnetic electron beam deflection device (10) suitable for moving the focal spot (5; 5a, 5b) on the target (4). The extension of the focal spot (5; 5a, 5b) in any direction (x, y, z) is at least a factor of 1.5 smaller than the extension of the target (4). An x-ray apparatus is thereby provided with simplified alignment of the x-ray optics with respect to a microfocus x-ray source.
