Abstract
In this chapter, standard stationary-anode, rotating anode and microfocus X-ray tubes are described and the spectra from these tubes are compared with the output from synchrotron-radiation sources. The choice of beam size, X-ray wavelength, spectral composition, intensity, cross fire and beam stability are discussed and a description is given of the beam-conditioning devices used with X-ray tubes for producing the desired X-ray beam properties: mirrors, polycapillaries and crystal monochromators. (The conditioning of X-ray beams from synchrotron sources is discussed in Chapter 8.1.) Keywords: cross fire; crystal monochromators; focusing collimators; microfocus X-ray tubes; monochromators; rotating-anode X-ray tubes; stationary-target X-ray tubes; synchrotron radiation; X-ray generation; X-ray mirrors; X-ray sources; X-ray tubes; choice of X-ray wavelength
