We have developed a modified Penning discharge lamp for use in the soft x-ray and extreme uv spectral regions. The source produces a number of intense lines in the 50-300-A range and can be operated for substantial periods of time at high output levels before refurbishment is required. Refurbishment of this source, when required, is very easily effected.
Finley et al. (1979) studied this question.
