Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an X-ray collimator for collimating an incident X-ray beam by limiting divergence of the incident X-ray beam, the X-ray collimator having a variable acceptance angle, an X-ray analysis apparatus comprising an X-ray collimator having a variable acceptance angle and a method of using the X-ray analysis apparatus. The X-ray analysis apparatus comprises a position-sensitive X-ray detector, and the X-ray collimator is arranged between the sample and the position-sensitive X-ray detector to limit axial divergence of X-rays from the sample.
