Abstract

A high resolution, curved-crystal spectrometer of compact design is described. It can be adapted to any X-ray source and covers the 0.5 to 10 nm wavelength range. The scanning of spectra is obtained by means of a novel mechanical arrangement using two coaxial rotary stages and a system of rotating arms. (patent n^r 86.08871). The step-by-step scanning of spectra is driven by an Apple Ile microcomputer which is also used to perform the data acquisition for X-ray emission, X-ray absorption and isochromat spectra.
