An anode of an X-ray tube, particularly for X-ray analysis, comprises at least two successive layers (7, 8 or 11, 10 or 13, 12) of anode material. A first layer (7, 11, 12) thereof consists mainly of an element having a comparatively low atomic number, such as scandium or chromium, while a second layer (8, 10, 13) consists mainly of an element having a comparatively high atomic number, such as molybdenum, tungsten or uranium. For the selection of a desired radiation spectrum, the tube voltage is selectively adjusted such that either or both layers are activated.
