Apparatus for amplifying intensity during transmission small angle X-ray scattering measurements

摘要

The disclosure provides an apparatus for amplifying scattering intensity during tSAXS measurements. The apparatus includes an enhancement grating object (14) and a placement mechanism. The enhancement grating object is positioned within a longitudinal coherence length of an incident X-ray from a target object (12). The placement mechanism is capable of placing the enhancement grating object with nanometer precision with respect to the target object in both a lateral and a longitudinal directions.
