Abstract
A method of measuring the dimensions of the optical focus of an X-ray tube is described which consists of producing an X-ray image of the optical focus on a fine-grained X-ray-sensitive film, illuminating the radiogram obtained by means of a lamp emitting homogeneous radiation and taking a video image of the radiogram by means of a video camera, processing the video image so as to obtain a digitized image of the optical focus, and measuring the dimensions of the optical focus from the digitized image obtained.
