Abstract
A container to secure an x-ray source is provided. The container includes a base and a cover each having an inside surface. The base and cover are assembled together forming a fluid tight chamber defined by the inside surfaces of the base and cover to secure x-ray source components to positions along the inside surface of the base. A plurality of these positions are machinable to provide a precision arrangement of at least a portion of the x-ray source components and at least one fluid tight seal between x-ray source components and the base. During fabrication of the base, each position of the inside surface required to provide a precise arrangement of at least a portion of the x-ray source components and at least one fluid tight seal between the x-ray source components and the base being accessible from exterior of the base by a substantially straight tool.
