Tilted plate in an electron gun? Did you mean an X-ray tube?SWKatzen said:
Can you link to some pages that show this? That would help us out. Thanks.SWKatzen said:
So that the electron beam will scan the whole screen rather than just a small region in the central areaSWKatzen said:
In a CRT TV tube, the deflection is magnetic and comes after the beam leaves the gun. We'd really need to see the particular gun that you are discussing.davenn said:

Yeah, I thought you would but did the OP know? It could be that the throat of the gun is flared because there is a finite magnetic deflection, even that far back.davenn said:
An electron gun is a device that generates a beam of electrons, typically used in cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and electron microscopes.
An electron gun works by using a high voltage to accelerate electrons from a cathode to an anode. The electrons are then focused into a beam and directed towards a target.
Electron gun deflection can be caused by several factors, including magnetic fields, electric fields, and external forces on the electron beam. These forces can alter the trajectory of the electrons and cause them to deviate from their intended path.
To better understand electron gun deflection, it is helpful to have a basic understanding of electromagnetism and how electric and magnetic fields interact with charged particles. Additionally, studying the design and components of an electron gun can provide insight into its operation.
There are many resources available for learning about electron gun deflection, including textbooks, online articles and tutorials, and educational videos. Additionally, universities and research institutions often offer courses or workshops on the topic.
