X-radiation
scroll 
Penetrating electromagnetic radiation. X-radiation
is generated by slowing-down electrons or heavy charged particles. In
an x-ray tube, electrons are accelerated by means of high direct voltage
to bombard a metal electrode. The bremsstrahlung generated is called
x-radiation.

heater voltage, K: cathode, A: anode, e: electrons exiting the cathode
and accelerated to the anode, R: x-ray shielding, F: beam hole)
