Abstract
An X-ray generation apparatus has an anticathode which includes a high thermal conductive substrate and a target for generating X-rays by irradiation with electrons. The target penetrates the high heat conductive substrate. Improved cooling efficiency and durability of the anticathode is obtained as well as miniaturization and simplification of the X-ray generation apparatus is achieved.
