We have measured the emission stability of a coniferous carbon nano-structure (CCNS) field emission electron source. Stable emission over the 1274 h measurement was observed at an emission current density of 20 mA·cm−2. The CCNS emitter can generate an emission current of more than 10 mA making it a practical choice for many applications requiring high electron current. For example, we are currently developing a CCNS based electron gun for electron accelerators and a portable X-ray source. Recent progress on both these applications is presented.
