ABSTRACT:
A device for the amplification of X-ray intensity: X-rays originating from a conventional source are made to reflect several times onto a metallic surface. At the moment of each reflection or the like the incident X-rays provoke emission of other X-rays from the reflective surface. The X-rays emitted during each reflection reinforce the intensity of the reflected ray, amplifying thus the intensity. To obtain this, the metallic reflective surface is maintained in an excited state suitable for X-ray emission. The device is made up of two concentric metal rings, to which is applied a high voltage. In the space between the metal rings an exciting gas is introduced, that, due to the strong potential difference applied, excites the metal surfaces of the rings.
