X-RAY MACHINE FOR GENERATING SHORT X-RAY PULSES AND CHECKING DEVICE, WORKING WITH SUCH X-RAY MACHINE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC H05G1/10 G01N23/00 

FIELD: x-rays.

SUBSTANCE: x-ray machine for generating short x-ray pulses consists of an x-ray tube, which has a heated cathode, anode and an x-ray generator. The x-ray generator has a primary circuit for generating a high voltage pulse, connected to the anode so as to generate an x-ray pulse. The x-ray generator also has a secondary circuit, through which a low voltage is constantly applied to the anode. The low voltage is at least sufficient for generating low energy x-rays and provides for preheating the x-ray tube. The primary circuit is a Marx generator and the secondary circuit is a power supply unit for preheating and is also used as a voltage source for the Marx generator.

EFFECT: possibility of generating x-ray pulses in the millisecond range, as well as the possibility of forming an image with a contrast outline using relatively low energy radiation.
