Abstract
A method for protecting an X-ray source including: a liquid jet generator configured to form a liquid jet moving along a flow axis; an electron source configured to provide an electron beam interacting with the liquid jet to generate X-ray radiation; the method including: generating the liquid jet: monitoring a quality measure indicating a performance of the liquid jet; identifying, based on the quality measure, a malperformance of the liquid jet; and if said malperformance is identified, causing the X-ray source to enter a safe mode for protecting the X ray source. Further, to corresponding devices.
