X-RAY SCANNING TUBE WITH DEFLECTING PLATES

摘要

In an x-ray tube of the beam deflection type for a radiology apparatus, the stair-steps of the focusing device of the electron beam are extended by metallic deflecting electrodes placed in parallel relation to said stair-steps and electrically insulated from these latter by means of insulating layers. Said electrodes are brought to different potentials, the polarities and values of which depend on the direction and amplitude of deflection to be obtained.
