Apparatus for Producing Soft X-Rays

A 30-watt soft x-ray apparatus has been designed to provide a simple and economical source of soft x-rays for radiography in the wavelength region between 1.1 and 0.6 Angstroms. The x-ray tube was constructed of pyrex, and a thin spherical window incorporated for transmitting the radiation. The electrical equipment was built from standard laboratory parts, employing a neon sign transformer as a source of potential
