Abstract
An X-ray optical system with an X-ray source, an element that focuses the X-rays and an element that reflects them. In order to generate parallel X-radiation with small beam cross-section and high photon density, the X-radiation of the X-ray source is directed with its focusing element to the convex, parabolic and reflecting surface of the reflecting element. The X-ray optical system is useful for X-ray analysis, e.g., in X-ray diffractometry, reflectometry and/or fluorescence analysis.
