The X-rays  Source

x-ray tubes provides a means for generating x-ray radiation in most analytical instruments. An evacuated tube houses a tungsten filament which acts as a cathode opposite to a much larger, water cooled anode made of copper with a metal plate on it. The metal plate can be made of any of the following metals: chromium, tungsten, copper, rhodium, silver, cobalt, and iron. A high voltage is passed through the filament and high energy electrons are produced. The machine needs some way of controlling the intensity and wavelength of the resulting light. The intensity of the light can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current passing through the filament; essentially acting as a temperature control. The wavelength of the light is controlled by setting the proper accelerating voltage of the electrons. The voltage placed across the system will determine the energy of the electrons traveling towards the anode. X-rays are produced when the electrons hit the target metal. Because the energy of light is inversely proportional to wavelength (E=hc=h(1/λ )), controlling the energy, controls the wavelength of the x-ray beam.
