A filter arrangement between the X-ray source and the sample window includes a first filter layer comprising a first filtering element and a second filter layer including a second filtering element. The atomic number of the second filtering element is greater than the atomic number of the first filtering element. The first filter layer is between the X-ray source and the second filter layer.
