Abstract :Nowadays, X -ray has had a wide range of applications in nuclear imaging, medicine, and industry. In our country, X‑ rays are widely used in these fields. However, we are in dependence on foreign sources on the X -ray devices. In our study, it is aimed to design a fixed anode type X -ray tube which is essential in medical imaging techniques by using the local opportunities, to carry out production of a prototype and to observe the X -rays experimentally. As a result, an X -ray tube is designed and three X -ray tube prototypes are manufactured by forming of Pyrex glass. X -rays are measured by using dental X -ray film and Geiger Muller counter.Keywords : Fixed anode, Prototype, X-ray
