An X-ray tube having internal shielding and producing less external stray radiation comprising an evacuated envelope, an X-ray generating target within the envelope, an electron gun positioned within the envelope to direct a stream of electrons at the target, a window arranged to direct the resulting X-rays through the envelope, high density attenuating means located within the envelope and substantially surrounding the target to attenuate high energy photons which do not exit through the window means, and a lower density metal covering about at least a portion of the high density attenuating means in order to reduce the intensity of secondary X-ray emission from the high density attenuating means.
