Patent ID: 10878615

Abstract:
A method of processing X-ray diffraction data, the data is provided by an X-ray detector configured to detect diffracted X-ray beams of a sample. The method including acquiring X-ray diffraction data from the X-ray detector while the sample is rotating with respect to an incident X-ray beam, generating a 2D image frame from the acquired X-ray diffraction data, wherein the generated 2D image frame includes 2D image data representing X-ray diffraction data for a specific rotational position of the sample, for the generated 2D image frame, distinguishing the sample relevant X-ray diffraction data from the background data; mapping the distinguished sample relevant X-ray diffraction data of the generated 2D image frame into a single 3D reciprocal space; and visualizing the 3D reciprocal space along with the mapped X-ray diffraction data on a display screen. Further provided is an apparatus and an X-ray device implementing the method.
