Abstract: A field effect electron emitter comprises a segmented emission surface and a control unit. The segmented emission surface has a plurality of field effect emitter needles and a number of segments, each segment having an activatable part emission surface, wherein the plurality of field effect emitter needles are distributed on the activatable part emission surfaces. The control unit is configured to activate various groups with at least one of the number of segments for a simultaneous electron emission from respective activatable part emission surfaces such that coherent and grouped part emission surfaces able to be activated in succession overlap in pairs by at least 25%.

Abstract: A field emission cathode device includes a cathode element having a field emission surface and an adjacent gate electrode clement defining a first gap therebetween. A gate voltage applied to the gate electrode clement causes the field emission surface to emit electrons that are accelerated through the gate electrode element. The gate electrode element is disposed between the cathode element and an anode element. the anode element having an anode voltage applied thereto to attract the electrons emitted through the gate electrode element. A tuning electrode element is disposed between the gate electrode element and the anode element. The tuning electrode element has a tuning voltage applied thereto to decelerate the electrons directed through the gate electrode element and to direct the electrons therethrough toward the anode element. An associated method of forming a field emission cathode device is also provided.

Abstract: Opening edge surface (45a) of an emitter supporting unit female screw bore (45) provided at an emitter supporting unit (4) extends along radial direction of the emitter supporting unit female screw bore (45). An emitter supporting unit operation hole (32) provided at a flange portion (30a) of a vacuum enclosure (11) has shape into which one selected from a position adjustment shaft (6) and a pressing shaft (9) can be inserted from their shaft tip sides. The position adjustment shaft is provided, on an outer circumferential surface of its tip (61), with a tip side male screw portion (61a) that can be screwed into the emitter supporting unit female screw bore (45). The pressing shaft has, at its tip (91), a tip surface (91a) having a larger diameter than an opening diameter of the emitter supporting unit female screw bore (45) and extending along radial direction of the pressing shaft.

Abstract: The X-ray imager combines a pulsed X-ray source with a time-sensitive X-ray detector to provide a measure of ballistic photons with a reduction of scattered photons. The imager can provide a comparable contrast-to-noise X-ray image using significantly less radiation exposure than conventional X-ray imagers, notably about half of the radiation.

Abstract: A vacuum container is configured so that an opening on one side and an opening on another side in the longitudinal direction of a cylindrical insulating body are sealed with an emitter unit and a target unit respectively; and a vacuum chamber is provided on the inner peripheral side of the insulating body. The emitter unit is provided with: a moving body located on the one side in the longitudinal direction in the vacuum chamber and supported so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction via a bellows; and a guard electrode located on the outer peripheral side of the moving body. An emitter section having an electron generating section is formed at a tip section of the moving body on the other side in the longitudinal direction by subjecting the surface of the tip section to film formation processing.
