  • X-ray micro-target source
    Patent number: 7308078
    Abstract: X-ray generation apparatus including an elongated target body and a mount from which the body projects to a tip remote from the mount. The target body includes a substance that, on being irradiated by a beam of electrons of suitable energy directed onto the target body from laterally of the elongate target body, generates a source of x-ray radiation from a volume of interaction of the electron beam with the target body. The mount provides a heat sink for the target body.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 11, 2007
