An x-ray generating device of the type using an ultraviolet laser is intended to stabilize generation of x-rays. An x-ray generating method, in which: ultraviolet laser beams emitted from an ultraviolet laser generating device irradiate an ultraviolet laser beam-receiving surface of an electron beam-emitting element; electron beams emitted from an electron beam emission surface, which differs from the ultraviolet laser beam-receiving surface in the electron beam-emitting element, radiate toward a metallic piece; x-rays are generated from the metallic piece; and wherein alteration of the substance in the ultraviolet laser beam-receiving surface is prevented by controlling the ultraviolet laser. |
