Abstract
The microfocus X-ray beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Fa cility has been used to investigate the variation in molecular orienta tion and crystallinity in the wall of a container fabricated from poly (ethylene terephthalate). Two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray scattering patterns were recorded and displayed in real time as the specimen was tracked across the incident X-ray beam enabling the measurement of tex tural changes to be made with a spatial resolution of similar to 2 mu m.
