“…For example, there are such X-ray apparatuses as "Seifert Eresco", "Sarma", "Arina", "Mira", "Orion", et al These monoblock apparatuses have a small size, small weight, and are widely used in industry (for defectoscopy of welds in gas pipe lines) and in medicine. Also exists a noncommercial nanosecond X-ray apparatuses, which are mainly used for scientific purposes [1][2][3][4][5]. For these apparatuses is produced a wide set of commercial nanosecond X-ray tubes with cold cathode.…”

Subnanosecond X-ray apparatus with a miniature radiator tube, which was connected to a source of high-voltage pulses through a commercial thin flexible radio-frequency coaxial cable (PK50, production of Russia), rated at 50 Ohm and having a length of 1 m, was created. Miniature explosive emission vacuum diodes were used as the picosecond X-ray emitter. The main advantages of the new subnanosecond X-ray apparatus with a flexible cable radiator probe, in comparison with a conventional one, include a small size and a lightweight (from 10 to 32 kg in our performance), as well as the possibility to bring the small-size X-ray tube by means of a long and thin flexible supply cable immediately to an object, which is hard to reach with available X-ray apparatus. The developed X-ray apparatus may find application in medicine for close-focus intracavitary roentgenotherapy, and also in industry for X-ray non-destructive inspection of small diameter lengthy intricate hollow parts.
