The effect of specimen displacement in X-ray powder diffraction experiments with laboratory diffractometers has been revisited and new expressions have been derived for several commonly used experimental configurations, including Bragg–Brentano parafocusing geometry and flat-plate transmission geometry. The results presented in this work allow the analysis of data from samples with relatively large displacements. This may open the possibility to study samples with dimensions that are difficult to accommodate with the sample-handling capabilities of standard laboratory diffractometers.
