Abstract
A compact powder diffractometer has one or more detectors arranged no more than 300 mm, in an example 55 mm, from a sample stage for mounting a powder sample. High resolution is nevertheless obtained in spite of the small dimensions using a geometry that achieves a suitable divergence of X-rays incident on the sample and a small spot size using a grazing exit condition on a monochromator crystal.
