This invention provides an X-ray tube apparatus which can output X-rays of
a dose suitable for radioscopy for a long time. In the apparatus, small
focus filaments are provided on respective sides of a large focus
filament, such that they have almost equal distances from the center of
the large focus filament, and the inclination angles of converging
electrodes surrounding the respective small focus filaments with respect
to a cathode main body are set to almost equal angles within a range of
20 to 40.degree..
