This specification discloses an X-ray source comprising an electron gun, an astigmator, a condenser lens and a target. The astigmator comprises four electrodes to which a voltage is supplied, said voltage determining the sectional shape of the electron beam passed through the astigmator. The electron beam passed through the astigmator is focused on the target by the condenser lens, the resultant impingement causing an X-ray to be generated from the target.
