Danish

tilsynekomsten af en top i spektret kan tilskrives sekundaer roentgenstraaling (the appearance of a peak in the spectrum is attributable to secondary X-radiation), temmelig hoeje dosishastigheder fra roentgenstraaling ved normale arbejdsspaendinger (fairly high X-radiation dose rates at normal operating voltages), takket vaere den hoeje masseabsorptionskoefficient blev lavenergetisk roentgenstraaling naesten helt absorberet (by virtue of the high mass absorption coefficient, low-energy X-radiation was almost entirely absorbed), intensiteten og kvaliteten af roentgenstraalingen afhaenger af accelerationsspaendingen (the intensity and quality of the X-radiation are dependent on the accelerating voltage), implosionssikre roer, som ikke udsender maalelig roentgenstraaling (self-protected tubes which cannot implode and which emit no measurable X-radiation), i det nedre energiomraade skyldes absorptionen af roentgenstraalingsenergi i luft naesten udelukkende den fotoelektriske effekt (in the lower energy range, the absorption of X-radiation energy by air is almost entirely due to the photoelectric effect), for roentgenstraaling af anselig styrke forloeber iso (the O.5 mR/h contour occurs at some distance from the source, where the X-radiation is considerable), ethvert elektronroer, som arbejder ved en spaending paa over nogle faa tusinde volt, kan vaere en kilde til roentgenstraaling (any electronic tube operating at a potential above a few thousand volts may be a source of X-radiation).

Dutch

vrij hoge rontgendosissnelheid bij normale bedrijfsspanningen (fairly high X-radiation dose rates at normal operating voltages), niet alleen de elektronenstraalbuis en hoogspannings-ώ gelijkrichter, maar ook de parallelstabilisator zijn onderdelen die rontgenstraling kunnen uitzenden (parts capable of emitting X-radiation include the shunt regulator as well as the cathode-ray tube and the high-voltage feed valve), intensiteit en kwaliteit der rontgenstralen zijn afhankelijk van de versnellingsspanning (the intensity and quality of the X-radiation are dependent on the accelerating voltage), in het gebied van de lage energieen wordt de absorptie van rontgenstraling in lucht vrijwel geheel veroorzaakt door het foto-elektrische effect (in the lower energy range, the absorption of X-radiation energy by air is almost entirely due to the photoelectric effect), implosievaste buizen zonder meetbare rontgenstraling (self-protected tubes which cannot implode and which emit no measurable X-radiation), iedere elektronenbuis die met spanningen van meer dan een paar duizend volts werkt, kan een bron van rontgenstraling vormen (any electronic tube operating at a potential above a few thousand volts may be a source of X-radiation), het optreden van een piek in het spectrum moet worden toegeschreven aan secundaire rontgenstraling (the appearance of a peak in the spectrum is attributable to secondary X-radiation), door de hoge massa-absorptiecoefficient wordt rontgenstraling met lage energie nagenoeg volledig geabsorbeerd (by virtue of the high mass absorption coefficient, low-energy X-radiation was almost entirely absorbed), bij de normale hoge voedingsspanning is geen enkele meetbare rontgenstraling gevonden (the readings obtained showed no measurable X-radiation for a normal operating high voltage), bij aanzienlijke rontgenstraling ligt de O,5 mR/hkromme op enige afstand van de bron (the O.5 mR/h contour occurs at some distance from the source, where the X-radiation is considerable).
