1. A method, comprising:
generating 3 radiation beams respectively from 3 locations toward an object and an image sensor, wherein the 3 radiation beams are generated one by one;
wherein the image sensor comprises (A) an array of M×N active areas, and (B) gaps among the M×N active areas and running in a first direction and a second direction, and
wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction; and
capturing 3 partial images of the object with the image sensor, one by one, using respectively radiations of the 3 radiation beams that have passed through and interacted with the object,
wherein each point of the object is captured in at least one partial image of the 3 partial images, and
wherein M and N are integers greater than 1.
