High voltage vacuum capacitors can generate soft X-rays even during normal operation.
In addition, high-energy atomic collisions can generate X-rays and, in some cases, other ionizing radiation and radionuclides.
As the electrons rapidly decelerate inside the acrylic, they also generate powerful X-rays.
An X-ray generator is a device used to generate X-rays.
Some of them, from the millisecond pulsars, generate X-rays instead.
However as time passed the X-rays caused the glass to absorb the gas, causing the tube to generate "harder" X-rays until it soon stopped operating.
Based on the results of experiments, Pupin concluded that the impact of primary X-rays generated secondary X-rays.
It generates X-rays by aiming high-energy electrons at a target of cobalt, then directing the X-rays into a narrow beam.
The procedure, harmless to the map, generated X-rays from which all elements present in the ink and parchment could be almost instantaneously identified and quantified.
This increased the voltage across the tube, generating 'harder' X-rays, until eventually the tube stopped working.
