Abstract
Tapered capillaries are frequently used as beam-concentrating optics in mic robeam x-ray diffraction experiments. The beams exiting such devices are us ually highly divergent and may possess nonuniform intensity distributions. In addition, their alignment poses some special challenges. In this article , the effects of these factors on the precision and accuracy of diffraction data are presented. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0034-6748(00 )00905-9].
