Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0685200A1] The object (37) under examination is compressed between a plate (33) and the table (3) for irradiation with the prim. X-ray beam from the rotatable anode (4) which has two focal-spot tracks (6, 7) inclined at the same angle and impacted by electrons from four cathodes (8-11). The edges (34, 35) of the beam are defined by coarse and fine apertures (19, 22). The cathodes produce four focal spots (12-15) spaced apart on the anode rim and selected by straight-line movement of the screen (2) contg. the fine aperture (22), by means of the stepping motor (28) and a sighting lamp (31) and mirror (32). <IMAGE>
