Figure 5
Series of images recorded by the PSD when the incident-photon energy E is tuned across the elastic line, which is centered at E0. One can observe how only a part of the square focus of Fig. 3 is illuminated at a given incident energy, reflecting the fact that there is a well resolved correspondence between the position of a pixel and the X-ray energy detected by it. The bandwidth of the incident radiation was 15 meV. The ultimately achievable resolution after the dispersion-compensation correction corresponds to the finite width of the line that sweeps across the focus. In this case, one pixel has a bandwidth of 7 meV and the width of the line is about 4 pixels. The square is a guide for the eye depicting the focal dimensions of 1.4 mm × 1.4 mm. |
