Abstract
The present invention relates to sample holder for holding a sample. The sample holder comprises a body having an incident surface and an opening in the body for receiving a sample. When the sample is irradiated with X-rays the incident surface of the sample holder may also be irradiated, especially at low incident angles. To reduce background scattering from the incident surface, the incident surface comprises a protrusion for blocking X-rays.
