Further, the first plate 45 and the second plate 47 are not limited to being screwed but may be connected by welding or adhesion.
- the circuit board holder 49 is also composed of a single member, a first plate 45 and a second plate 47. Not only the holder but also a number of members may be combined. In this case, the bending process can be omitted by forming a circuit board holder by combining a number of members such as flat plates.
- the circuit board holder 49 is not limited to a heat conductive metal, and may be made of resin.
- the X-ray source according to the present invention is suitable as a microfocus X-ray source used in, for example, an X-ray nondestructive inspection apparatus.
