Abstract: The invention is an improved energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer comprising x-ray source (10), sample (12), optics (20) and detector (16). The improvement comprises the use of optics using the principle of total external reflection for delivering an increased flux of x-rays onto the detector. These flux concentrating optics are generally shaped as tubes having a figure of revolution as a longitudinal cross section such as a cone, parabola, hyperbola, ellipsoid and others. These optics may also be used as low energy pass filters by incorporating a stop (22) at or near the aperture of the optic. The reflecting surface of the flux concentrator optic may be selected from the group of metals and their alloys, the choice made to optimize the optic's performance.

Abstract: The invention relates to an examination method whereby a respective spectrum with a number of spectral values is measured for a number of locations. Collective evaluation of the old spectra is enabled by the following steps: a) formation of a data matrix from the spectral vectors formed by the series of spectral values of a respective spectrum, the spectral vectors being arranged in the columns (or in the rows) of the data matrix in a location-dependent manner, b) singular value decomposition of the data matrix in order to obtain three matrices whose product corresponds to the data matrix, the first (third) matrix consisting of spectrally dependent vectors, whereas the second matrix is a diagonal matrix and the third (first) matrix consists of location-dependent vectors, c) evaluation of at least one of the three matrices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring the momentum transfer spectrum of X-ray quanta elastically scattered in an examination zone, comprising an X-ray source and a detector device with a plurality of detector elements, one of which serves to measure a reference radiation beam. Attractive results are obtained in that between the examination zone and the X-ray source there is arranged at least one scatter member which scatters the X-rays emitted by the X-ray source, the reference radiation beam being formed from the part of the scattered radiation which reaches the reference detector element rectilinearly through the examination zone.
