1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to an indicator for providing visible identification in an x-ray apparatus when x-rays are actually being generated.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In x-ray devices it is known to provide an indicator or "telltale" lamp which is illuminated when the x-ray tube is energized for emitting x-rays. An incorrect display is possible, however, if, for example, due to a faulty contact the lamp is illuminated even though no radiation is present, or the lamp does not become illuminated even though radiation is present.
