Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0491471A2] A high power x-ray generating tube (2) for reducing the effects of excessive heating of the window (16) through which the x-rays (16) are transmitted. The x-ray generating tube consists of a metal center section (6) having a stationary cathode (8) and a rotating anode (10). Various embodiments are employed for deflecting secondary electrons back scattered from the anode away from the window to avoid overheating of the window. A grounded anode simplifes the mechanisms required to prevent overheating. <IMAGE>
