Claim 18:
19. A method of X-ray examination of a sample, the method comprising:
generating an original primary X-ray beam by means of an X-ray source of an X-ray beam generating system further comprising an optics system having a first optics component and at least one second optics component which are movable relative to the X-ray source;
bringing the first optics component of the optics system into interaction with the original primary x-ray beam to generate a first primary x-ray beam deflected at a first deflection angle, wherein a rotating device includes a rotating stage on which the x-ray beam generating system is mounted and which is adjusted at a first rotation angle to allow the first primary x-ray beam to impinge on a sample region;
further comprising:
moving the first optics component and the second optics component of the optics system relative to the X-ray source to bring the second optics component into interaction with the original primary X-ray beam to generate a second primary X-ray beam deflected at a second deflection angle; and
rotating the rotating stage to a second rotation angle about a rotating stage axis to allow the second primary x-ray beam to impinge on the sample region.
