Use of a Kumakhov lens in analytic instruments

摘要

Analytic instruments using a Kumakhov lens are described. These instruments are useful for X-ray fluorescence analysis or spectroscopy, microscopy, digital subtraction analysis, electron microbeam analysis, X- ray diffraction and neutron diffraction, among others. The analytic instrument provide increased precision and accuracy over instrumentation known in the art. Methods for using these instruments are also taught.
