Abstract

An improved X-ray monochromatizing subassembly, method and system are provided by a plurality of X-ray dispersive structures which are spaced and aligned to intercept X-rays and reflect monochromatized X-rays from the intercepted X-rays. The system includes a source of X-rays and an X-ray detector for detecting the monochromatized reflected X-rays. The monochromatized X-rays can be designed to be diverging, parallel or converging and can be designed for a particular wavelength of interest.
