Abstract
A foil covering for the apertured exit window for a broad beam electron gun is placed in tension by stretching it over a raised edge which extends parallel to one of the dimensions of the aperture pattern, thereby creating a hollow space between the foil and the exterior surface of the housing adjacent to the exit window apertures, and then sealing the circumference of the foil to the exterior surface of the housing. When the housing is evacuated, the ambient air pressure presses the foil into this hollow space and thereby stretches the foil taut over the exit window aperture to remove any potential creases or folds in the foil.
