Abstract

In order to reduce stray radiation from an X-ray tube, a first additional electrode (6) is disposed near the anode focal spot (3a) on rotating anode 3 and is supplied with a voltage 3-10 kV higher than that of the cathode (5) so as to capture the majority of electrons reflected and generated by secondary emission at the focal spot (3a). A second additional electrode (8), to which a voltage positive with respect to the cathode (5) is applied, may be disposed between the cathode (5) and the first additional electrode (6) to increase the electric field strength in the region of the cathode heater and thereby compensate for space-charge effects due to the first additional electrode 6). Aperture (7a) may be dispensed with for low At. No. materials, and may produce a pre-filtering. The tube current may be switched by grid 9 or grid 8. <IMAGE>
