X-ray Generators

I've run across a couple of X-ray generating devices recently that radiologically inclined folks might be interested in.

There's this small solid-state device, supposedly pretty pricey though:

A grittier DIY emitter is this one built from a BBQ lighter:

i made an xray generator using a 2X2A vacuum tube and a tv flyback, but i will try using a cheap high voltage module and hope it works. i got quite a bit of xrays before my driver circuit died
