Patent ID: 7110503

Claim:
A measuring and testing complex for carrying out researches in an X-ray range of radiation on multiple analytical stations simultaneously, each analytical station being configured for performing predetermined measurements or tests, the complex comprising: a single non-synchrotron radiation source for producing X-rays in a form of a single divergent beam, multiple radiation transporting channels for transporting radiation from the single non-synchrotron radiation source to the respective multiple analytical stations, and multiple X-ray lenses corresponding to the multiple analytical stations, each of the X-ray lenses having a number of bent channels configured to provide multiple total external reflection of X-rays from walls of the bent channels, each of the X-ray lenses being configured to extract a part of the single divergent beam produced by the radiation source and transform the part the single divergent beam into a quasi-parallel beam, each of the radiation transporting channels being configured to include one of the X-ray lenses and to provide propagation of the extracted part of the single divergent beam and the quasi-parallel beam in an air medium to an input aperture of the corresponding analytical station.
