Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1318524A2] The system has two x-ray reflectors (A,B) for focussing an x-ray source (S) onto a target region. The x-ray reflectors are tilted towards each other, with an offset from 90 degrees so that the combined acceptance region of the x-ray reflectors is matched to the shape of the x-ray source and/or the target region. The offset from 90 degrees is preferably between 30 and 85 degrees. The x-ray reflectors may comprise a multilayer structure. <??>Independent claims are also included for the following: <??>(1) an x-ray diffractometer; and <??>(2) a method of focusing an image source for x-ray or neutron radiation onto a target region.
