Abstract: Disclosed herein are a high-voltage generator for an x-ray source, an x-ray gun, an electron beam apparatus, a rotary vacuum seal, a target assembly for an x-ray source, a rotary x-ray emission target, and an x-ray source. These various aspects may separately and/or together enable the construction of an x-ray source which can operate at energies of up to 500 kV and beyond, which is suitable for use in commercial and research x-ray applications such as computerised tomography. In particular, the high-voltage generator includes a shield electrode electrically connected intermediate of a first voltage multiplier and a second voltage multiplier. The electron beam apparatus includes control photodetectors and photo emitters having a transparent conductive shield arranged therebetween. The rotary vacuum seal includes a pumpable chamber at a position intermediate between high-pressure and low-pressure ends of a bore for a rotating shaft. The rotary target assembly is configured such that when a torque between a bearing housing and a vacuum housing exceeds a predetermined torque, the bearing housing rotates relative to the vacuum housing. The rotary x-ray emission target has a plurality of target plates supported on a hub, the plates being arranged on the hub to provide an annular target region about an axis rotation of the hub. The x-ray gun is provided with a shield electrode maintained at a potential difference relative to the x-ray target different to the electron beam emission cathode.

Abstract: A high-voltage power supply (10) includes: a power scaling section (130) that receives an input voltage signal and converts the input voltage signal to a controllable DC voltage; a push-pull converter (140) for converting the controllable DC voltage to a high-frequency wave; and a voltage multiplier (200) receiving the high-frequency wave generated by the push-pull converter (140) and performing successive voltage doubling operations to generate a high-voltage DC output. In one implementation, the voltage multiplier (200) receives a square wave having a frequency of approximately 100 kHz and outputs an adjustable DC voltage of approximately 0-to-30 kV. In one implementation, the high-voltage power supply (10) includes an insulation system (250) for the voltage multiplier module (200), such an insulation system being formed of n insulating layers and m conducting strips positioned between successive insulating layers.
