Abstract

A x-ray scanning method involves the stops of directing an x-ray beam at a collimating first mirror having the capability of altering the source to mirror location and/or grazing angle of incidence. The beam is then reflected from a flat second mirror capable of a scanning motion by linear translation with an optional accompanying angular change in the grazing angle of incidence of the beam on the second mirror.
