X-ray instrumentation

vacuum tube that converts electrical input power into X-rays

thumb|300px|Example of a particle collimator A collimator is a device which narrows a beam of particles or waves. “To narrow” can mean either to cause the directions of motion to become more aligned in a specific direction (i.e., make collimated light or parallel rays), or to cause the spatial cross section of the beam to become smaller (beam limiting device).
