Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for materials testing of a test object using X-rays, the apparatus comprising: a carrier having a first surface and a second surface; an X-ray device comprising an X-ray source for irradiation of the test object held in a test position on the first surface of the carrier; an X-ray linear diode array detector comprising at least two detection sections and configured to acquire a complete radial cross-section of the test object, the detection sections arranged at an angle to each other, at least a first detection section arranged to face a horizontal surface of the test object and at least a second detection section arranged to face a vertical surface of the test object; and an electronic control device configured to control the X-ray device, wherein during X-ray testing to acquire a complete overall cross-section of the test object, the carrier is configured to rotate relative to the X-ray device and the X-ray linear diode array detector only around a vertical axis of rotation while the X-ray device and the X-ray linear diode array detector remain stationary, the carrier to rotate while acquisition of the overall cross-section of the test object is actively occurring.
