peer agreement (net): +1target Explanation: Source: http://www.medicalorama.com/encyclopedie/15641: "La source d'électrons des tubes à RX est un filament (cathode) porté à incandescence et la quantité des RX produits dépend de l'ampérage de ce courant chauffant le filament. L'anode, la cible (ou foyer) de ce faisceau d'électrons, est une plaque de tungstène. Le tube est enfermé dans une gaine plombée et seule une fenêtre découpée dans cette enveloppe, laisse passer les RX" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2012-08-23 11:58:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's another ref.:http://www.tpe-rayons-x.sitew.com: "La cathode libère des électrons qui se dirigent directement sur l’anode en la frappant violemment, car les électrons étant négatifs et l’anode positive, il y a une attirance entre les deux. La surface de bombardement des électrons sur l’anode s'appelle le foyer. |

focal spot Explanation: Region of the anode on which the electrons from the cathode are focused to produce X-rays by collision http://www.ndt-ed.org/EducationResources/CommunityCollege/Ra... "A focusing cup is used to concentrate the stream of electrons to a small area of the target called the focal spot. The focal spot size is an important factor in the system's ability to produce a sharp image" Also called "focus" see last reference below, this is why I had approved Kashew's suggestion Bilingual document in Canada: http://www.gazette.gc.ca/archives/p2/2006/2006-06-14/html/so... This tri-lingual document from a manufacturer has the requested entry Focal spot->Foyer: http://www.iae.it/TAMA/files_db/pdf/DS/RTC165_DS94.pdf Example sentence(s):
