    摘要: An x-ray tube includes an electron emitter to emit an electron beam; and a multilayer anode including a first anode layer facing the electron beam and a second anode layer facing away from the electron beam. The first anode layer includes a first anode material to generate a braking radiation via the electron beam and the second anode layer includes a second anode material to generate a further x-ray radiation via the braking radiation. The further x-ray radiation is relatively more monochromatic than the braking radiation and wherein the first anode layer and the second anode layer adjoin in a planar manner.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an x-ray device including a housing configured to provide a vacuum therein, a cathode arranged inside the housing and configured to emit electrons, an anode arranged inside the housing and configured to produce x-ray radiation when impacted by electrons emitted by the cathode, and a converter configured to convert the x-ray radiation produced by the anode into monochromatic x-ray radiation, wherein the anode is configured to produce x-ray radiation in transmission and is arranged between the cathode and the converter. The present disclosure may be used in medical imaging, therapy, spectroscopy, and the like. Geometries and configurations may be improved compared to previously known x-ray devices when it comes to requirements for space, materials used, complexity of electrical wiring, distance between cathode and anode, and providing supplementary functions.

    摘要: A thermionic emission device includes an indirectly heatable main emitter, which is constructed as a flat emitter with a main emission surface, and at least one connectible heat emitter with a heat emission surface. The heat emission surface is disposed at a predefinable distance from the main emission surface. The main emission surface can be asymmetrically heated by the heat emission surface. In the operating state, the main emitter is at a main potential and the heat emitter is at a heating potential which differs from the main potential. An x-ray tube with the thermionic emission device has a longer service life with a consistent image quality.
