Abstract

A method for X-ray analysis of a sample includes directing a beam of X-rays to impinge on a structure in the sample such that the X-rays are scattered from the structure in a pattern of stripes, and receiving the scattered X-rays using an array of detectors. A relative alignment between the sample and the array is adjusted so that the stripes are parallel to the detectors.
