The advent of X-band vacuum technologies has allowed for the construction of compact electron beam sources able to deliver 60 MeV ultra-short bunches previously only realizable in large scale National Laboratories. Using a novel frequency selection scheme a Titantium:Sapphire laser oscillator serves as both optical source for the phototinjector and master clock for the microwave components. Additionally the table-top laser amplifiers, also seeded by the oscillator, are inherently synchronized to the RF sources. This allows for a simplified collinear Compton scattering x-ray source tunable from 10 to 80 keV. Successful operation of the system has demonstrated initial signs of Compton x-rays.
