Abstract
An X-ray tube, comprising a cathode arrangement which includes an electron emitter connected to supporting pins which in turn are connected to the cathode structure via a respective fixing element. Particularly simple adjustment of the position of the filament is achieved in that the fixing elements are connected to the cathode structure in a first region and to the associated supporting pin in a second region which is remote from the first region, and that the fixing elements comprise a deformation zone between the first and the second region, deformation of said zone enabling adjustment of the position of the electron emitter relative to the cathode structure.
