Abstract

An X-ray analysis crystal is also curved in a direction transverse to the dispersion direction to increase the radiation efficiency. As a result of this radiation diffracted at the crystal is focused towards a detector input. In order to ensure a non-deformable crystal surface the crystal is preferably bonded to a carrier having an adapted bonding profile.
