1. An X-ray source comprising:
an X-ray tube;
a radiation shielding shell enclosing the X-ray tube, the radiation shielding shell including a collimator formed integrally with it,
wherein the radiation shielding shell comprises finely dispersed powder, hardener, and polyester resin or epoxy resin;
a first set of two coaxial discs made of a conductive material at an anode side of the radiation shielding shell and between the radiation shielding shell and the X-ray tube;
a second set of two coaxial discs made of the conductive material at a cathode side of the radiation shielding shell and between the radiation shielding shell and the X-ray tube;
a cylindrical shielding element inside the radiation shielding shell and around the X-ray tube,
wherein the cylindrical shielding element is made of the conductive material;
a cooler system providing oil to the X-ray tube; and
an oil filled tank supplying the oil to the cooler system.
