Abstract
An x-ray source for computer tomography uses several sub-sources. An electron beam impacts the several sub-sources to achieve a high x-ray flux with high resolution. The several sub-sources produce a composite image, which is deconvolved to disentangle the composite image and render a useful image. The configuration of the several sub-sources can be optimized for a given specimen structure.
