Abstract: An irradiation apparatus comprises a plurality of ionising radiation source points (122) configured to output ionising radiation. The plurality of ionising radiation source points (122) is an array distributed around an irradiation volume (140). The array of ionising radiation source points (122) is configured to direct ionising radiation inwardly to the irradiation volume (140). A transport apparatus (130) is configured to support at least one sample (138) to be irradiated within the irradiation volume (140). The transport apparatus (130) is configured to rotate about a first rotational axis (131) lying within the irradiation volume (140).
