Q: Why diffraction gratings are so important? As the grating’s groove-to-groove spacing and blaze angle affect the intensity of light, diffraction grating technology is critical to measurement ...

The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy. In 1873, the German physicist Ernst Abbe realized that the resolution of ...

Parabolic mirror for parallel beam of Cu Ka radiation 40 position sample changer for high throughput room temperature operation Anton Parr high temperature stage (up to 1200°C in nitrogen, helium, air ...

The efficiency has a well‐defined dependence on polarization. In particular, it is possible to obtain theoretical 100% diffraction efficiency with one linear polarization at any angle, or to obtain ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...

The waves always 'spread' to some extent into the area beyond the gap. This is diffraction - the spreading out of waves when they go through a gap, or past the edge of a barrier. The extent of the ...

This illustration depicts the detection geometry commonly used in Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). At the top is the electron gun, which emits a focused electron beam that strikes the specimen ...
