    Abstract: Provided is an X-ray source including a vacuum closed tube. The X-ray source includes a high voltage connection module, a tube module, and a magnetic lens system into which the tube module is inserted. The tube module includes a vacuum closed tube. The vacuum closed tube includes a cathode electrode provided at one end thereof, a nano-emitter on the cathode electrode, an anode electrode provided at the other end, and a first insulation spacer provided between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode. In addition, the vacuum closed tube includes a first conductive tube and a second conductive tube both provided between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode and separated from each other by the first insulation spacer, and a first collimator block covering an inner surface of the first insulation spacer and having a first opening.

    Abstract: Provided herein is a field emission device. The field emission device includes a cathode which is connected to a negative power supply and emits electrons, an anode which is connected to a positive power supply and includes a target material receiving the electrons emitted from the cathode, and a ground electrode which is formed to face the anode and has an opening through which the electrons emitted from the cathode pass. The ground electrode is grounded so that when an arc discharge occurs due to high voltage operation of the anode, electric charge produced by the arc discharge is emitted to a ground.

    Abstract: Provided is an X-ray tube including an anode, a target on the anode, a cathode disposed separate from the target and the anode and comprising an emitter providing an electron beam to the target, and a side wall disposed between the cathode and the anode, and surrounding the target and the emitter. The side wall reflects a light generated by collision of the electron beam with the target to the cathode, and electrically insulates the cathode from the anode.
