Abstract
An X-ray optical element () with a Soller slit comprising several lamellas for collimating an X-ray beam with respect to the direction of the axis () of the Soller slit, and a further collimator for delimiting an X-ray (), wherein the further collimator is rigidly connected to the Soller slit () during operation, is characterized in that the X-ray beam () delimited by the further collimator intersects the axis () of the Soller slit within the Soller slit, and the direction of the X-ray beam () subtends an angle α≧10° with respect to the axis () of the Soller slit. An X-ray optical element () with a Soller slit () and a further collimator is thereby realized, which permits automatic change between the Soller slit () and the further collimator.
