X-ray tube,artwork. This is a device used for creating a beam of X-rays. The glass flask contains a vacuum. A cathode (top) is heated and releases electrons. These are accelerated by a high voltage toward the anode (bottom). When the electrons hit the metal target of the anode,X-rays are emitted (wavy lines,lower right). The window in the tube (lower right) allows the X-rays to be used for further applications or research as needed | |
