Abstract
The present invention refers to a method for assembling an electron exit window of an electron beam generating device, comprising the steps of: arranging a foil support plate on a housing of the electron beam generating device, bonding a window foil to a frame along at least one continuous bonding line, thus creating an exit window sub-assembly, and attaching the exit window sub-assembly onto the housing. The invention also relates to an electron exit window assembly.

A method for assembling an electron exit window of an electron beam generating device, comprising the steps of:
- arranging a foil support plate on a housing of the electron beam generating device,
- bonding a window foil to a frame along at least one continuous bonding line, thus creating an exit window sub-assembly, and
- attaching the exit window sub-assembly onto the housing.
An electron exit window assembly of an electron beam generating device comprising a foil support plate and a window foil, wherein
- said foil support plate is arranged on a housing of the electron beam generating device,
- said window foil is bonded to a frame along at least one continuous bonding line, forming an exit window sub-assembly, and
- said exit window sub-assembly is attached to the housing.
A method for assembling an electron exit window of an electron beam generating device, comprising:
- bonding a window foil made of metal to a frame along at least one endless bonding line to create an exit window sub-assembly in which the window foil is fixed to the frame, the frame surrounding an open region and the window foil extending across the entire open region;
- securing a foil support plate to an edge of an opening in a flange of a housing of the electron beam generating device so that the foil plate spans the entire opening;
- and
- attaching the exit window sub-assembly onto the housing in covering relation to the foil support plate so that no part of the foil support plate is exposed to outside atmosphere.
