Abstract
An x-ray apparatus has a mounting member, an x-ray source carrier arranged at the mounting member with an x-ray source arranged therein and an x-ray detector carrier with an x-ray detector arranged therein, wherein the x-ray source must be exactly adjusted relative to the x-ray detector within an overall tolerance for a proper operation of the x-ray arrangement. A source tolerance, a detector tolerance, a source carrier tolerance and a detector carrier tolerance are provided, with the sum of these tolerances of the assemblies being no larger than the overall tolerance.
