Abstract (en)

The anode of an X-ray tube is provided with an anode target material in which effectively usable M-radiation can also be generated, notably with a heavy element such as Th, Pa, or U. Thus, a radiation spectrum to be emitted by the tube is suitable for analysis of light elements, notably by means of the M-radiation, as well as heavier elements, using radiation from the comparatively energy-rich continous spectrum and the spectrally attractively situated L-radiation of the anode material. <IMAGE>
