Abstract:
1. An x-ray analysis apparatus for illuminating a sample spot with an x-ray beam, comprising: an x-ray tube having a source spot from which a diverging x-ray beam is produced having a characteristic first energy, and bremsstrahlung energy; a first x-ray optic for receiving the diverging x-ray beam and directing the beam toward the sample spot, the first x-ray optic monochromating the beam; a second x-ray optic for receiving the diverging x-ray beam and directing the beam toward the sample spot, the second x-ray optic monochromating the beam to a second energy; wherein the first x-ray optic monochromates characteristic energy from the source spot and the second x-ray optic monochromates bremsstrahlung energy from the source spot.
