摘要
The design and operation of a miniature x-ray tube used as a calibration source for a rocket borne x-ray astronomy experiment are described. The tube utilizes a miniature lamp filament and a 0.05 mm aluminum foil as a transmission target. Anode current of 1 μA and accelerating potential of 4 kV produce approximately 1000 1.48 keV photons/sec. Shelf life of the tube is greater than three months and the operating life is several hours. © 1969 The American Institute of Physics.
