Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0459567A2] The invention relates to a source for generating essentially monochromatic X-ray radiation, having an anode for generating X-ray radiation, a target, which is surrounded by the anode, for converting the X-ray radiation into fluorescent radiation, and having a screen, which is located between the target and the anode, for screening the target from electrons. In this case, a higher yield of fluorescent radiation is achieved by the screen containing an element having a high atomic number.
