Abstract
An X-ray tube including a chamber enclosing an anode disc rotatable about an axis, and movable transversely with respect to that axis, the tube also enclosing an electron beam source for projecting electrons along a beam directed towards a planar surface of the anode disc. The beam source is disposed so as to direct its beam at an acute angle of incidence to the planar surface of the anode disc and produce X-rays which are thereupon reflected from the anode disc through a window in the chamber.
