Measurement system and method for operating a measurement system

A measurement system comprising:

• a radiation detector configured to detect electromagnetic radiation;
• a radiation source oriented towards the radiation detector, wherein the radiation source is configured to generate a beam of electromagnetic radiation and to emit the beam of electromagnetic radiation along a central ray of the beam;
• a first movement apparatus configured to move the radiation source relative to an object region;
• a second movement apparatus configured to move the radiation detector relative to the object region;
• and
• a frame;
• wherein the first movement apparatus comprises a first base element and a first cantilever beam bearing-mounted to the first base element, wherein the first cantilever beam is rotatable relative to the first base element about a first axis of rotation;
• wherein the first base element and the second base element are fixedly connected to the frame;
• wherein the radiation source is rotatable relative to the first cantilever beam about a second axis of rotation;
• wherein the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation together enclose an acute angle (α) amounting to at most 80°;
• wherein the second movement apparatus comprises a second base element and a second cantilever beam bearing-mounted to the second base element;
• wherein the second cantilever beam is rotatable relative to the second base element about a third axis of rotation;
• wherein the radiation detector is disposed at the second cantilever beam.
