The present invention relates to an X-ray tube, having a structure for
effectively suppressing discharge at a tip of an anode, irradiated with
electrons in order to generate X-rays, and an X-ray source including the
X-ray tube. In the X-ray tube, electrons emitted from an electron gun are
made to collide with an X-ray target, and X-rays generated at the X-ray
target due to the collision are taken out to an exterior. The X-ray tube
includes: a head, defining an internal space that houses a tip of an
anode; an irradiation window, transmitting the generated X-rays to the
exterior; an exhaust port, disposed at an inner wall surface of a casing
and being for vacuum drawing of the internal space; and a shielding
structure, hiding the exhaust port from the tip of the anode.
