General description of the tts-μXRD technique applied to multiple crystal microvolumes. (a) After collecting the data from all crystal microvolumes, refining the global metric, orienting the multiple crystals and merging the sequential φ scans of each individual crystal (frame merging), the final data set results from merging the individual data sets (multicrystal merging). To consider possible gauge volume variations, a double scaling process is carried out (the first by scaling each frame during frame merging and the second by scaling each crystal data set during multicrystal merging, as detailed in the text). (b) The strategy for data collection for each crystal microvolume. Sequential (partially overlapping) φ scans are centred at the offset angles φi (= iΔφ) with 2Δφ widths. The substrate thickness limits the number of φ scans.
