Scanning X-ray microdiffraction experiment. Several thousand diffraction patterns are collected from a specimen by stepping a suitable sample (e.g. tissue section) across an X-ray microbeam, collecting a complete diffraction pattern at every grid point on a square grid to build up an array of patterns that provide information on the distribution of constituents across the sample. Data across a wide range of scattering angles are collected simultaneously by utilizing WAXS and SAXS detectors in a single experiment. |
