Claim 9:
10. The imaging system of claim 9, wherein at least one of (a) and (b) holds true:
(a) the electron optical system is configured to selectively deflect the electron beam so that an impingement location of the electron beam on the target is changed; wherein the control of the relative position of the at least one X-ray emitting region comprises varying the impingement location on the target using the electron optical system; and
(b) the X-ray source is configured to generate a first electron beam generating a first X-ray emitting region and a second electron beam generating a second X-ray emitting region, wherein the control of the relative position of the at least one or more X-ray emitting regions comprises actuating and deactivating the two electron beams so that the electron beams are sequentially activated.
