X-RAY TUBE

X-RAY TUBE  

X-Ray tube is where x-rays generated.
     On the x-ray tube there are some parts inside.
     a. Glass tube (glass envelope) is the tube made of glass and vacuum which
         containing FILAMENTS, ANODE and CATHODE.

 
     b. Tube Housing is a place for protect the glass tube, also contains high

         voltage oil and vacuum, to function as cooling and insulation of the  

         spike / high voltage stepping. On the   monoblock tube x-ray type there are  

         also high voltage transformer inside the tube housing.Tube housings made ​​

         of metal material Pb coated.  

         And there in the middle  hole as a place to exit the x-ray called WINDOW.

           

   
   

      c.  X-Ray Tube Type
          X-ray tubes were distinguished on
          - Fixed anode (Anode Fixed):
            Where is anoda not spinning.
            The advantages of this anode, electrons target do not move so x-rays  

            produced will be more sharply from the rotating anode.

 
          - Rotating anode :
            where is anoda on radiation will rotates.
            The advantages of this anode, the heat from the radiation on this anode is
            be evenly distributed on the anode material. 

            So that the age of x-ray tube will be much longer than with fixed anode.
