Zusammenfassung:Methods and means for reduced ng the overall diameter of an x-ray tube by recessing the vacuum pumping port stub within the ground plane of the x-ray tube without adversely affecting the electrostatic fields within the vacuum tube itself are provided. In one embodiment, x-ray tubes of smaller diameter, which can be used within the highly confined diameters typically found within the pressure housings of borehole tools are used.
