Classification: CPC A  H | IPC A  H

Claim 0:
1. An x-ray apparatus comprising:
an electron source configured to generate electrons;
at least one first target arranged to receive electrons from the electron source, the at least one first target comprising material that, in response to being irradiated by the electrons, produces broad spectrum x-ray radiation;
at least one second target arranged to receive at least some of the broad spectrum x-ray radiation, the at least one second target comprising material that, in response to irradiation by broad spectrum x-ray radiation from the first target, produces monochromatic x-ray radiation
at least one mechanism configured to cause production of pulses of the monochromatic x-ray radiation to provide pulsed monochromatic x-ray radiation to irradiate the subject matter of interest; and
at least one detector positioned to detect at least some of the pulsed monochromatic x-ray radiation produced from the at least one second target and transmitted through the subject matter of interest to form, at least in part, at least one image of at least a portion of the subject matter of interest.
