    The document describes various components of an x-ray tube, including the stator electromagnets that are external to the glass housing, the tungsten anode that conducts electrons and removes heat, and the envelope that encloses the tube and prevents tungsten vaporization. It also mentions the filament circuit that steps down voltage and steps up current before reaching the filaments, and the rotating anode that increases the target area during exposure.

    1. Stator electromagnets: Part of the electromagnetic induction motor; external to


    glass housing, consists of multiple, paired electromagnets.
    2. Bearing: Supports the anode
    3. Tungsten anode: Has electrical conductor that receives electrons from cathode,
    conducts them through to connecting cables and back to high voltage generator,
    provides mechanical support for target, efficiently remove heat. Primarily
    tungsten.
    4. Envelope: encloses the x-ray tube, prolong tube life because they eliminate
    tungsten vaporization
    5. Filament circuit: Before it gets to filaments, voltage from autotransformer is
    stepped down, this steps up the current
    6. Filament: Small coil of thin thoriated tungsten wire
    7. Molybdenum neck and base: between anode and rotor; reduces heat conduction
    8. Rotating portion: Anode spins during exposure, which increases target area
    9. Armature:
    10. Focusing cup: Metal cup that the filaments are embedded into- forces
    thermionically emitted electrons close together, doesnt allow them to spread
    apart
