  • Patent number: 11788975
    Abstract: A measuring arrangement (20) for x-ray radiation, comprising—a sample position (3), which can be illuminated by xray radiation (2) and—an x-ray detector (13) for detecting x-ray radiation emitted from the sample position (3), comprising at least one detector module (21-24), wherein the detector module (21-24) has a plurality of sensor elements (14; 14a-14e) arranged successively in a measuring direction (MR), each sensor element having a centroid (18), wherein the sensor elements (14; 14a-14e) are arranged in a common sensor plane (16) of the detector module (21-24), is characterized in that at least a majority of the sensor elements (14; 14a-14e) of the detector module (21-24), preferably all the sensor elements (14; 14a-14e) of the detector module (21-24), are designed as uniformly spaced sensor elements (14; 14a-14e), wherein the centroids (18) of the sensor elements (14; 14a-14e) have an equal distance R0 from the sample position (3).

  • Publication number: 20220034825
    Abstract: In summary, the present invention proposes embodying an X-ray detector (21) with a plurality of detector modules (1, 1a-1g), each comprising dead zones (6) without X-ray sensitivity and active zones (3, 3a-3c) with X-ray sensitivity that is spatially resolved in a measurement direction (MR), wherein the detector modules (1, 1a-1g) are embodied successively and in an overlapping fashion along the measurement direction (MR), such that in overlap regions (23a-23e) the dead zone (6) of one detector module (1, 1a-1g) is bridged by an active zone (3, 3a-3c) of another detector module (1, 1a-1g). The overlapping detector modules (1, 1a-1g) are arranged next to one another in the transverse direction (QR) in the overlap regions (23a-23e), wherein the transverse direction (QR) runs transversely with respect to the local measurement direction (MR) and transversely with respect to a local connection direction (VR) with respect to a sample position (91).
