Abstract
An x-ray source assembly () and method of operation are provided having enhanced output stability. The assembly includes an anode () having a source spot upon which electrons () impinge and a control system () for controlling position of the anode source spot relative to an output structure. The control system can maintain the anode source spot location relative to the output structure () notwithstanding a change in one or more operating conditions of the x-ray source assembly. One aspect of the disclosed invention is most amenable to the analysis of sulfur in petroleum-based fuels.
