A new x-ray apparatus is described which has a tube with an extremely transparent Be window (0.15 mm thick) for a wide utilization spectrum (5 to 100 kv). Data are given on the intensity and quality of the radiation, the isodose curves, and the inherent dosimetry. Its principal applications are: therapy with narrow beams, x-ray causticization, plesiotherapy, surface therapy, irradiation at very high intensity (10/sup 5/ r/min), microradiography, plesiography, and normal- and high-contrast diagnosis.
