Patent number: 6333967Abstract: An X-ray generator includes a hermetically sealed main generator unit, and an electron gun and a target housed inside the main generator unit, and bombards the target with electrons emitted from the electron gun and passes an X-ray beam emitted from the surface of the target owing to the bombardment to the exterior through an exit window. An X-ray optical element is provided inside the main generator unit on the output path of the X-ray beam emitted from the target for regulating the X-ray beam and the X-ray beam regulated by the X-ray optical element is passed through the exit window.

Patent number: 6249566Abstract: An incident monochromator and a microfocus X-ray source with an apparent focal spot size of less than 30 micrometers are combined so that the X-ray source can be close to the monochromator and the intensity of X-rays focused on a sample is greatly increased. A side-by-side composite monochromator is arranged between the X-ray source and the sample. The composite monochromator has a first and a second elliptic monochromators each having a synthetic multilayered thin film with graded d-spacing. The first elliptic monochromator has one side which is connected to one side of the second elliptic monochromator. A preferable apparent focal spot size D of the X-ray source may be 10 micrometers. Because the invention provides a high focusing efficiency for X-rays, it is not required to use a high-power X-ray tube. The X-ray tube according to the invention, moreover, may have a stationary-anode, whose power may be about 7 Watts.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1999Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Rigaku CorporationInventors: Seiichi Hayashi, Jimpei Harada, Kazuhiko Omote
