  1. 3. Factor that controls the quality of the radiation
  2. 6. Cup, This is aimed directly at the anode
  3. 8. The first adjustment that should be contemplated (decrease by 50% if image is too dark, increase by 50% if image is too light)
  4. 10. A partner to the cathode, which is composed of tungsten
  5. 14. Photons are produced within it to create the potential x-ray beam
  6. 16. This is at the top of the scale of the light spectrum
