Well i couldnot help out with the concept that conventional tubes for x ray production require high acceleration voltages in the order of kVs but how a portable XRF produces x rays with a rechargeable battery ?? Does it produce high enough accelerationn pressure, i have some doubts or there is something idk

Help me out on this
Thanx . . . . . .

A switching power supply is used to generate the high voltage supply for the X-ray tube.
 
Can you provide me some links . . .
