Abstract:
A compact, low-cost system for the detection of counterfeit or sub-potency pharmaceuticals is implemented by use of a low power X-ray source, an incident collimator containing a series of concentric, non-parallel slits, receiving collimators containing a series of concentric, non-parallel slits, additional collimators to limit tangential divergence and a single, near room temperature energy dispersive detector that sums the plurality of diffracted x-ray beams. In this system, the tradeoff between spectral resolving power and the diffracted intensity is eliminated. Also provided are methods to determine the optimal diffraction angle for a given test material, determine the instrument geometry and design parameters, and assess the system performance and sensitivity to alignment errors.

Claim (Index 13):
The system for identification of crystalline materials of  claim 1 , wherein\n the incident beam collimator has one incident annular slit having an apex, the incident annular slit being aligned with and perpendicular to the system symmetry axis and the incident annular slit has the X-ray source at its apex; and wherein the system comprises a diffracted beam collimator having a plurality of diffracted annular slits concentric with and perpendicular to the system symmetry axis in which said diffracted annular slits are parallel to each other.
