1. A device for generating X-rays comprising:
at least one electron source for the emission of an electron beam that defines a plane having a predetermined width value in a width dimension and a predetermined length value in a length dimension, the width dimension substantially perpendicular to the length dimension; at least one window frame at least partially defining at least one liquid metal flow path; and at least one electron window coupled to said at least one window frame, said at least one electron window positioned within said at least one liquid metal flow path and configured to receive the electron beam, said at least one electron window emits X-rays in response to an incidence of electrons thereon, wherein said at least one electron window comprises a surface curved in at least one of the width dimension and the length dimension. |
