Abstract

A method of X-ray analysis includes irradiating a spot on a sample with X-rays along an X-ray beam axis. X-rays emitted from the sample, responsive to irradiating the spot, are simultaneously detected at a plurality of different azimuthal angles relative to the beam axis. X-ray intensities detected at the different angles in a common energy range are compared in order to determine a property of the sample.
