X-ray diffraction microscopy based on refractive optics

Optics 2014-12-16 v2

Abstract

We describe a diffraction microscopy technique based on refractive optics to study structural variations in crystals. The X-ray beam diffracted by a crystal was magnified by beryllium parabolic refractive lenses on a 2D X-ray camera. The microscopy setup was integrated into the 6-circle Huber diffractometer at the ESRF beamline ID06. Our setup allowed us to visualize structural imperfections with a resolution of approximately 1 micrometer. The configuration, however, can easily be adapted for sub-micrometer resolution.
