Microfocus-polycapillary optic x-ray system for x-ray analysis

摘要

A microfocus x-ray system for producing a quasi-parallel x-ray beam is disclosed which includes an x-ray source, a polycapillary optic and a monochromator. The x-ray system achieves a high rate of x-ray flux, and the angular divergence of the x-ray beam has been reduced. The x-ray system is particularly well suited for use on small macromolecular crystals.
