Patent ID: 8629606

Claim:
A liquid anode radiation source comprising: a body having a wall limiting the anode space equipped with inlet and outlet, where the outlet connected to the inlet outside the body will define a continuous flow path closing through the body, the inlet has a wall limiting an internal cross-section changing towards the anode space, where in the cross-section of the inlet a deflector is arranged in a position free of contacting the wall, filling out the cross-section partially and movable to the direction perpendicular to the cross-section; a liquid anode material arranged in the flow path; a circulation unit inserted in the flow path in a way that it can ensure the unidirectional movement of the anode material in the flow path; an exciting unit having an outlet opening arranged in a way that it can emit a source beam of specified energy to the assigned region of the anode material; a feed-out element established in a way that it can move out the radiation started by the source beam in the assigned region of the anode material for the purpose of using it, wherein a wall limiting the anode space is concavely arched at least one region of its contact surface and thereby the radiation source is formed as an anode holder in its operating status starting inertial force on the anode material flowing in the considered region thereby pressing the anode material onto the surface, where the assigned region of the liquid anode material irradiated with the source beam is placed in such a way that it can cover at least partially the concavely arched region of the anode focal spot, anode space; the exciting unit can freely communicate with the anode space by an outlet opening, further comprising: a structure stabilizing the flow of the liquid anode material is placed in the anode space between the considered arched region and the outlet.
