An X-ray optical system comprising an X-ray source (), from which X-ray radiation () is guided to a sample () under investigation, and an X-ray detector () for receiving radiation () diffracted or scattered from the sample (), wherein a beam-guiding X-ray optical element (), such as e.g. a collimator, a mono- or polycapillary, an X-ray mirror or a monochromator, is disposed between the source () and the sample () and/or between the sample () and the detector (), is characterized in that a wobble means is provided for moving the X-ray optical element () in an oscillating fashion during the measurement. The inventive X-ray optical system obtains averaged X-ray analysis information from objects under investigation having large mass which consist of macrocrystalline material without destroying or accelerating the object under investigation.
