Abstract

A double grid anode is characterized in that said anode is comprised of a first cage-like anode made of a metal grid or wire gauze that permits that passage of electrons and that has an open end, a second anode which also consists of a metal grid or wire gauze located at the open end side of said first anode, a hot-cathode filament arranged around the outer periphery of said first anode, and an ion-extraction electrode which faces said anode.
