An anode exchangeable X-ray tube of very simple structure was developed. Aluminum, chromium, and copper anode targets were prepared and used to investigate X-ray spectra. X-ray images of a thin wood plate were taken using those targets. The measured energies of the characteristic X-rays of each target agreed well with the presented results. The difference of resolution and brightness of each image was found based on MTF values and intensities. The developed X-ray tube can give high durability, and higher quality X-ray images of an arbitrary object by exchanging anode targets.
