Abstract
The invention relates to the field of the analysis of objects by x-ray diffraction spectroscopy. One subject of the invention is a device for analyzing an object by x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, comprising a collimator the shape of which allows various portions of an object to be analyzed simultaneously. To do this, the collimator includes channels inclined with respect to an axis, called the central axis of the collimator, in such a way that various channels address various elementary volumes distributed through the object. Another subject of the invention is a method allowing an object to be analyzed using such a device. The object may for example be a biological tissue that it is desired to characterize non-invasively and non-destructively.
