Abstract: An X-ray or neutron-optical analysis device comprising means for directing radiation from a source (1) onto a sample (2), and a detector (7) with n substantially identical detector elements (Di) which are disposed parallel, next to each other in a first direction x and which extend in strips in a second direction y, wherein i=1, . . .

Abstract: A method for operating an X-ray analysis device is characterized by the following steps: a) recording a first data set in a first relative spatial position of a source, an object and a detector; b) displacement and/or rotation of the detector in the detector plane relative to the source and the object, whereby the relative position of source and object is not changed; c) recording a second data set In the position displaced according to step b); and d) superposition of the recorded data sets to form an overall data set, wherein the pixels of the recorded data sets are combined corresponding to their actual relative position with respect to the source and object.

Abstract: A method for operating an X-ray analysis device with a source (17) for X-ray radiation, an object (19) under investigation which is irradiated with X-ray radiation, and a planar two-dimensional array detector with pixel elements (7) for spatially resolved detection of the X-ray radiation emitted by the object (19), whereby a data set, in particular, in the form of a digitized diffractogram and/or spectrum is obtained, characterized by the following steps: a) recording a first data set (11) in a first relative spatial position (P1) of source (17), object (19) and detector; b) displacement and/or rotation of the detector in the detector plane relative to the source (17) and the object (19), whereby the relative position of source (17) and object (19) is not changed; c) recording a second data set (11) in the position (P2) displaced according to step b); and d) superposition of the recorded data sets (11) to form an overall data set (13), wherein the pixels of the recorded data sets are combined corresponding to

Abstract: A detector arrangement for detecting X-ray or neutron radiation redirected from a sample makes use of a one-dimensional particle or photon counting detector. The detector is oriented along a direction that is disposed substantially perpendicularly to a straight line extending between the sample and the detector. The detector may be rotated within the detection plane to allow inexpensive acquisition of two-dimensional diffraction patterns without the use of a two-dimensional detector.
