Imaging optical arrangement to image an object illuminated by X-rays

A detection system including a detection assembly comprising:

• an imaging optical arrangement to image an object illuminated by X-rays, the imaging optical arrangement comprising
• an imaging optics to image a transfer field in a field plane into a detection field in a detection plane via an imaging light path,
• a layer of scintillator material arranged at the transfer field, and
• a stop being arranged in a pupil plane of the imaging optics,
• wherein the imaging optics has an optical axis,
• wherein the imaging optical arrangement further comprises a movable optical element for adjusting a property of a chief ray,
• the detection assembly further comprising
• a detection array arranged at the detection field of the imaging optics, and
• an object mount to hold an object to be imaged via the imaging optics,
• the detection system further comprising an X-ray source.
