Abstract:
An X-ray tube having means for controlling the width and length of a focal spot area on the anode target surface, the width being adjustable by varying respective positive biasing voltages which are applied to slotted metal cups positioned between the filament and the anode target surface, and the length being externally controllable and continuously adjustable by positioning two movable metallic elements, each being maintained at zero potential or negatively biased with respect to the filament and disposed between a respective end portion of the filament and the slotted metal cups.
Abstract:
An image intensifier tube including a multi-radius photocathode having less curvature adjacent its periphery than in the central portion thereof.
Abstract:
A magnetically focused beam power tube having an anode provided with means for suppressing secondary emission, which means comprises Faraday cage-type cavity structures having magnetic shielding for providing substantially magnetic-free regions within the cavities.
