The core innovation of the company was the introduction of the world's first commercially available rotating anode X-ray generator.
2.
In contrast to the tubes with rotating anode, RET-tube implies rotation of the entire tube with respect to the anode axis.
3.
X-ray tubes used for continuous-duty operation in fluoroscopy and CT imaging equipment may use a focused cathode and a rotating anode to dissipate the large amounts of heat thereby generated.
4.
Later, in 1933, Siemens introduced rotating anode tubes for x-rays that could withstand much greater electrical loads, laying the foundation for the development of modern X-ray tubes.
5.
Some anodes are mechanically spun to increase the area heated by the beam ( e . g . edical " rotating anode " ) or cooled by circulating coolant ( indirectly on most rotating anodes ).

7.
More traditional, inexpensive sources such as rotating anode sources provide 2-3 orders of magnitude less X-ray flux and are only suitable for studying high-atomic number materials, which return a higher diffracted intensity.
