Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray analysis apparatus and a method of X-ray analysis. The X-ray analysis apparatus enables a user to carry out a plurality of X-ray analysis applications, for analysing a sample by measuring X-ray diffraction and/or X-ray fluorescence, using the same X-ray source. The apparatus comprises an X-ray source for irradiating the sample with X-rays, the X-ray source comprising a solid anode and a cathode for emitting an electron beam. It also comprises a focusing arrangement for focusing the electron beam onto the anode, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive X-ray analysis application information and to control the X-ray analysis apparatus to selectively operate in either a first X-ray analysis mode or a second X-ray analysis mode based on the X-ray analysis application information. In the first X-ray analysis mode the X-ray source operates at a first operating power and has an effective focal spot size that is less than 100 μm. In the second X-ray analysis mode the X-ray source operates at a second operating power that is higher than the first operating power, and the area of the effective focal spot is larger than the area of the effective focal spot in the first X-ray analysis mode.

Abstract: An X-ray analysis apparatus and method. The apparatus comprises an adjustable slit (210) between an X-ray source (4) and a sample (6); and optionally a further slit (220, 220a). A controller (17) is configured to control a width of the adjustable slit, between a first width, a larger second width, and an even larger third width. At the first and second widths: the adjustable slit (210) limits the divergence of the incident beam and thereby limits an area of the sample that is irradiated; and the further slit (220) does not limit the divergence of the incident beam. At the third width: the adjustable slit (210) does not limit the divergence of the incident beam, and the further slit (220) limits the divergence of the incident beam and thereby limits the area of the sample that is irradiated. Alternatively, at the third width, the adjustable slit (210) continues to limit the area irradiated.

Abstract: The sample mounting system comprises a sample holder and a sample stage having a platform for supporting the sample holder. The sample can be fixed to the sample holder by a mount. The sample holder comprises a holder reference portion, which co-operates with a corresponding reference portion of the sample stage (the stage reference portion) to align the sample holder with the sample stage. When the sample holder is positioned on the platform such that the stage reference portion and the holder reference portion engage each other, the sample holder is aligned with the sample stage.

Abstract: A method of X-ray diffraction illuminates a beam (4) of X-rays along an illuminated strip (16) on a surface (14) of a sample (10). The X-rays are diffracted by the sample (10) and pass through a mask (20) having a slit extending essentially perpendicularly to the strip (16). The X-rays are detected by a two-dimensional X-ray detector to measure the diffracted X-rays at different positions along the strip (16).

Abstract: An X-ray analysis apparatus comprises an X-ray source configured to irradiate a sample with an incident X-ray beam. A first beam mask component is arranged between the X-ray source and the sample. The first beam mask component has a first opening for limiting the size of the incident X-ray beam. When the first beam mask component is in a first configuration, the first opening is arranged in the incident X-ray beam. The first beam mask component further comprises a second opening. When the first beam mask component is in a second configuration, the second opening is arranged in the incident X-ray beam. The second opening does not limit the size of the incident X-ray beam. A controller is configured to control a first beam mask component actuator to change the configuration of the first beam mask component between the first configuration and the second configuration by moving the first beam mask component in a plane intersected by the incident X-ray beam.

Abstract: An X-ray diffraction apparatus for high resolution measurement combines the use of an X-ray source with a target having an atomic number Z less 50 with an energy resolving X-ray detector having an array of pixels and a beta radiation multilayer mirror for selecting the K-beta radiation from the X-ray source and for reflecting the K-beta radiation onto the sample where it is diffracted onto the energy resolving X-ray detector. The sample may in particular be in transmission. The sample may be a powder sample in a capillary.
