Abstract
A field emission type electron gun comprises a cathode, an anode placed opposing the cathode, a filament placed obliquely above the anode in a space between the cathode and anode to heat the anode, a control electrode and a vacuum container housing the cathode, the anode the control electrode and the filament. The anode has an elongated body with a through hole at its center, the control electrode is provided near the anode, and means for rendering the electric potential of the control electrode to be negative to the electric potential of the anode is provided to concentrate an electron beam to the top end of the anode.
