Differential aperture microscopy applied to obtain resolution along the incident X-ray beam in a Laue microdiffraction experiment with a penetrating beam. The position of the movable wire can be precisely calibrated with respect to the detector and the incident X-ray beam. As the wire moves near the sample surface it intercepts X-rays diffracted from the grains in the sample. Changes of the diffracted intensity into each pixel of the detector can be correlated to the wire position and ray-traced back to the intercept with the incident beam. In this way the Laue diffraction pattern from each subgrain volume element along the incident beam path can be determined. |
