    摘要: A biological crystal formation screening apparatus uses an x-ray diffraction technique to analyze the sample containers of a sample tray for the presence of crystal formation. An x-ray source is directed toward a sample under investigation, and a two-dimensional x-ray detector is located to receive any diffracted x-ray energy. A positioning apparatus allows the different sample containers of a tray to be sequentially aligned with the source and detector, allowing each to be examined. The sample container is arranged such that a sample is located relative to the well solution so that the x-ray beam is directed to the sample without being incident on the well solution.

    摘要: A method uses linear prediction analysis to define a first structure factor component for a first reflection from x-ray crystallography data. The x-ray crystallography data includes a set of cognizable reflections. The method includes expressing the first structure factor component as a first linear equation in which the first structure factor component is equal to a sum of a first plurality of terms. Each term includes a product of (1) a structure factor component for a cognizable reflection from the x-ray crystallography data, wherein the cognizable reflection has a separation in reciprocal space from the first reflection, and (2) a linear prediction coefficient corresponding to the separation between the cognizable reflection and the first reflection. The method further includes calculating values for the linear prediction coefficients. The method further includes substituting the values for the linear prediction coefficients into the first linear equation, thereby defining the first structure factor component for the first reflection.

    摘要: An X-ray topographic system comprises an X-ray generator producing a beam of X-rays impinging on a limited area of a sample such as a silicon wafer. A solid state detector is positioned to intercept the beam after transmission through or reflection from the sample. The detector has an array of pixels matching the beam area to produce a digital image of said limited area. Relative stepping motion between the X-ray generator and the sample produces a series of digital images which are combined together. In optional embodiments, an X-ray optic is interposed to produce a parallel beam to avoid image doubling, or the effect of image doubling is removed by software.

    摘要: An X-ray micro-diffraction measuring method for detecting X-rays diffracted at a minute portion of a specimen upon irradiating the minute portion with X-rays is disclosed. A cylindrical stimulation type fluorescent member is arranged around the specimen. A sample facet of the specimen is tilted by, for example, 45° with respect to the stimulation type fluorescent member such that the stimulation type fluorescent member can receive both diffracted X-rays passing along a direction tangential to the sample facet and diffracted X-rays passing along a direction perpendicular to the sample facet. Diffracted X-ray images can be obtained on the stimulation type fluorescent by merely rotating the specimen about only the &phgr; axis thereof so as to perform the in-plane rotation without a rotation about the &khgr; axis. By eliminating a rotation about one axis from rotations about two axes for the specimen, it may be possible to avoid a degradation of measurement preciseness due to a crossing error of the two axes. Also, the elimination of the axis mentioned above may cause the structure of the apparatus to be simplified and the time required for the measurement to be shortened.
