Abstract
The objective of the present work is the measurement of diffraction patterns of polycrystalline materials in a short time. A method is proposed which opens possibilities to generate real time diffraction patterns using a normal x-ray CCD camera without cooling. The key element is an effectively focusing capillary lens. Using the transmission focusing scheme according to Guinier diffraction patterns of molybdenum and zirconium polycrystals have been recorded. A 30 Watt x-ray tube with Mo anode and a capillary lens with a focus spot of 35 μm diameter were employed for that purpose. Procedures to further improve the quality of the diffraction pattern are discussed.
