A method and apparatus are provided for generating x-ray photon radiation. A liquid cone anode and an extraction electrode spaced therefrom are disposed in a vacuum chamber. The liquid cone anode comprises a liquid material, a reservoir for holding the liquid material having an opening for passage of the liquid material, and a liquid material feeding and cone forming mechanism operatively associated with the reservoir for feeding liquid material through the opening in the reservoir and for forming a liquid cone from the liquid material A power supply is connected to the liquid cone anode and the extraction electrode for creating an electric field therebetween of sufficient strength to cause particles to be extracted from the liquid cone anode to form a plasma ball in the space between the liquid cone anode and the extraction electrode which emits x-ray photon radiation.
