ABSTRACT An X-ray tube including an envelope enclosing an anode disc rotatable and axially reciprocable and further enclosing an electron beam source for projecting electrons along a beam axis onto the edge of the anode disc is disclosed. The beam source is disposed to direct its beam at an acute angle of incidence to the edge of the anode disc and produce X-rays which are transmitted through a window in the envelope. The edge of the disc is formed as a cylindrical surface parallel to the disc axis and the disc is arranged to reciprocate less than the width of this surface as the disc is rotated so that the focal spot tracks along the surface in a sinusoidal wave of decreasing amplitude. This prevents the beam from always impinging on the same points on the anode.
