Description
A knife-edge mechanical collimator is used in X-ray diffractometry to:
- Reduce background noise – blocks scattered or stray X-rays, enhancing signal-to-noise ratio in diffraction patterns
- Control irradiated sample area – limits the beam footprint on the sample, preventing spillover and ensuring analysis of only the intended region
- Optimize for small samples – ideal for analyzing tiny or irregularly shaped specimens by minimizing beam divergence
Key Benefit:
Provides sharper diffraction peaks and more accurate data by tailoring the beam’s
size and divergence to the experiment’s needs.
Features:
- Adjustable distance between the knife edge collimator and the analyzed surface: 0 to 10 mm
- Manual adjustment
- Simple installation
